Tick Puns FAQ (Because You Have Issues)
You have questions, and we have sarcastic answers. Grab a rolled-up newspaper to swat them away while you read this, or just distract yourself by panicking quietly instead.
Do ticks jump from trees?
No, they wait on blades of grass like creepy little hitchhikers waiting to ruin your day.
Can I burn them off my skin with a match?
Absolutely not, unless you want a third-degree burn to go with your new parasite. Use tweezers.
Are they actually considered bugs?
They are arachnids, meaning they are closely related to spiders, which makes the whole situation significantly worse.
Do all ticks carry Lyme disease?
No, but they all carry a one hundred percent chance of making you panic when you see them.
Is it safe to shower off a tick, or am I just relocating the problem?
Showering can knock off ticks that have not latched on yet, but if one is already biting, water pressure will not save you. You still need tweezers, not a loofah.
Can these things actually move into my bed, or is that just fear talking?
Ticks are not looking to redecorate your mattress; they generally need a host nearby, not a nice thread count. Still, wash your sheets if this thought is currently ruining your life.
Why shouldn’t I just squish the tick when I find it?
Squishing ticks can push infected fluids back into the bite, which is a plot twist nobody asked for. Twist it out with tweezers instead of starting a tiny, disgusting war.
