Cool, might be especially interesting as we expect more ticks here in the Netherlands following climate change.

Yeah, I think I’ll pass and just try to avoid ticks in the first place. One day I was following a trail through some tall grass, and by the time I got home, I found I had 3 ticks latched into my skin in various places.

After I got them all off, I was sick as a dog and running a gnarly fever for the next week. 🤒

They’re disgusting creatures. Takes a lot for me to hate anything more than mosquitos but at least they have the decency to fuck off once they get you.

Someone should make something like a tick vaccine with this
