i live in a tropic place. whenever i see tourist admiring an open door hotel in bali, all i think about is the million of undocumented species crawling in your bed sheet and mosquitoes buzzing all night long
Yet another reason im very happy in my cold grey windy home country.
Yeah. Those winters might get old, but I'd much rather be a little cold outside than constantly getting swarmed by dangerous critters.
last time i did that i just got covered in snails
god i wish i had snails. all i ever see here is slugs. homeless snails :(
Slugs will evolve into snails with a moon stone lol.
get those snails a house!
Convertible snails
Well as long as it's not THE snail.
What the fuck is the green thing on your leg? Carpet padding?
Tape but sticky side out
I thought it was green painters tape wrapped sticky side out. Almost as if this masochist wanted to see ALL THE TICKS.
Well, if you're not seeing the ticks, they're already biting you.
Its OK, they just find a home in your butthole
That happened to my mate lmao
Pair of green elasticated trousers?
Some plants have seeds with little hooks to be disseminated by animals, that must be this.
Nope, it's tape wrapped around the ankles to stop ticks from crawling up your leg.
Aye, I got mixed up in the comments, genealogy, the seeds I talk about are in another comment to which I thought the parent comment was replying...
Around here you'd just be covered in these little fuckers
Around here you get both. Lots and lots of both...
NE near coastal fresh wetlands of the US are absolutely crawling in ticks. Ughhhhhhh. Nature has rejected us.
Apparently turkeys eat ticks. We just need to keep the wild turkey population up and they'll help cull the infestation.
Sorry, the only species we'll conserve are bloodsucking insects and jellyfish.
Just FYI, you can vaccinate yourself against ticks these days.
Still don't want them on me, but at least you don't have to worry about borrelia
I envy people whose problem with ticks is borreliosis.
Ours have the fun stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tick-borne_encephalitis
Luckily, there also a vaccine against that. So I'll expand the PSA to that (especially for those that moved here from abroad)
The vaccine against it also needs to be refreshed regularly
Moved where ?
Central and eastern Europe. The Wikipedia article has a map.
Although you should always check the official vaccine recommendations of your country/area, like this one for Germany
Here
Still waiting for the lyme vaccine to finish and become available.
The vaccine only has a 80 % efficacy. Don't go around getting ticks just because you get vaccinated.
Goddamn… no… NO!
Also you’re supposed to tuck your pants into your socks
Kevlar socks, ideally.
Self immolation. It's the only way to be sure.
We need to cull the deer and stop burning fossile fuels.
Agent orange the forests and ban sucking blood
Drain the swamp! Oops, wrong Agent orange.
Walking through long grass in Pokémon:
You can't spell sticky without...
Icky? Ick? Sick? Don't leave us hanging
...tic
Depends where you live
I wonder if an adhesive was involved in collecting so many lil ticklers.
Gun to my head I'd have to call those shoes hiking loafers. (paradox)
I'm not sure what I'm looking at exactly but I think it's an ankle wrapped in "tick tape", so I'd say yes
melon ass pant
