Not my artwork... but the label fits...
Once you remove a tick it is a good idea to put it in a sealed plastic bag to keep it from re-attaching!

weit weniger willkommen ...
aber zum glück entdeckt bevor sie sich richtig festsetzen konnte, war noch leicht herauszuziehen
leute gebt acht, da sind echt viele unterwegs, ich bin nur einmal abgezweigt um zu sehen ob es schon morcheln gibt und habe noch nicht einmal die gestrüppige ecke durchforstet
Les paparres poden transmetre patògens com bacteris, virus i paràsits a través de les seves picades. Se les vincula a la malaltia de Lyme, l'encefalitis (TBE), anaplasmosis... La de la foto pertany al gènere Hyalomma , menys abundant a Europa, però transmissora de la febre hemorràgica de Crimea-Congo.

Walking through a thicket, I brush against a branch and a tick falls onto me, grabs on, gripping my arm hairs, scuttles about, searching for a place to embed itself and feed on my blood.
I stop, lift my arm up, look the tick in its tiny compound eyes and ask...
"Hey! If you bite and drink your fill, will you be happier? Describe your inner life, how you navigate parasitism's moral quandaries, your self image!"
The tick says nothing.
So I flick it off my arm.
Was minding my own business, washing my hands. I saw something that looked like a scab just above my wrist.
It was a tick !
YUUCCKKK.
It’s been removed and I have had a full body check. One of the dogs carried it into the bed no doubt. Bed sheets stripped and being washed.
Update on the #tick bite. Took me 4 hours of going to 2 clinics to get a treatment in 10 minutes. Since the bite was within 24 hours, I took one high dose of doxycyclin as a prophylaxis and that was it. Had I waited til symptoms showed up, I would have had to take two weeks of the drug. So do this if you ever get bit
Do you remember I recently went for a walk in the woods? Well, I brought back not only photos, but also this kind of "friend" who loves hugs and bites. It's a tick 
. I really hope it's healthy and won't infect me with encephalitis.

It doesn't stop until the motor-timeout is hit, *or* I manually disable motors - at which point the ticking instantly stops.
Any idea why the steppers are still being activated after the print is complete? Does it serve a purpose? Seems like a waste of energy, and needless stress on the hardware.

Cooler regions could see 'boom' in tick populations due to #ClimateChange
"Included in the model are types of landscape and the availability for ticks to feed on a host between each of its life stages , allowing researchers to study the complicated interactions between the landscape, temperatures, the ticks and the hosts they're feeding on.
With booms in #tick populations comes the potential for more people around the world to be exposed to tick-borne diseases."

What you should know about the tick-borne disease anaplasmosis
CTVNews · What you should know about the tick-borne disease anaplasmosisCases of a tick-borne illness called anaplasmosis are on the rise globally, and that includes across Canada. Biology professor Vett Lloyd says it is important to understand the risk factors for contracting anaplasmosis, and recognize symptoms of an infection, as the disease becomes more prevalent.
Mechanic #Tick Bite Season is Upon Us
Warm weather and lush spring vegetation are perfect for #Ticks to multiply. Ticks carry multiple diseases, especially #Lyme, which is endemic in #Delaware.
#LymeDisease often causes flu-like symptoms if it gets systemic along with neurologic and cardiac complications, especially if it becomes chronic.

Oh ffs. Just found another one..
And attached a photo (own work, some years ago) of what a #Lyme / #Borrelia infection looks like. Days to weeks after an infection (#tick bite) this circle can appear anywhere on the body (thus not only where the tickhole was). It will fade out in a day or two but that means the infection is in your body: go to your doctor and get antibiotics!
Someone mentioned #TBE as well. This is now endemic in many european regions. And there's a vaccin! Worth looking into.

I want to normalize/popularize connecting #Billionaires with an image of a bloated #tick
If #Fascists can compare minority groups to #vermin, so can I
There's not really very many of those ticks, but they're sucking the blood out of our Body Politick
Out of our #Economy
Out of our #Democracy
So many needed resources, hoarded for what?

It’s spring once again! Have fun out there, but stay safe from tickborne illness.
An additional tip: It takes 24 hours for a tick to pass Lyme disease to its host. Do a thorough tick check when you get home to reduce the chances of catching Lyme.
