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.
What the fuck is the green thing on your leg? Carpet padding?
Tape but sticky side out
Pair of green elasticated trousers?
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.
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
!abroad
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.
Self immolation. It’s the only way to be sure.
Goddamn… no… NO!
Also you’re supposed to tuck your pants into your socks
Kevlar socks, ideally.
Walking through long grass in Pokémon:
We need to cull the deer and stop burning fossile fuels.
Agent orange the forests and ban sucking blood
Depends where you live
You can’t spell sticky without…
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
Deet works just fine.
Helps, but nothing is sufficet in it self in my party is the world
melon ass pant
