Well as long as it’s not THE snail.
Grass snails?
What the fuck is the green thing on your leg? Carpet padding?
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…
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.
Possums do too! And they’re immune to rabies. Awesome little cute scary looking creatures.
Opossums don’t really eat ticks. The ‘study’ that said that was pretty bad science. If I stuck you in a room with nothing but dog food for a while, and then said that humans eat dog food at X rate, would you consider it a true statement?
Interesting. I wasn’t aware of the controversy around that assertion. The 2021 study doesn’t necessarily seem entirely definitive either in my opinion, the total absence of ticks in the stomach contents despite the presence of many other insects seems suspicious, and they only examined 32 possums from a single area. Nonetheless you’re right, the other study doesn’t seem to have had the best methodology. I’d like to see more information but a search really only turns up those two studies and a bunch of shitty articles on them.
Self immolation. It’s the only way to be sure.
Walking through long grass in Pokémon:
Goddamn… no… NO!
Also you’re supposed to tuck your pants into your socks
Kevlar socks, ideally.
We need to cull the deer and stop burning fossile fuels.
