    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.

        Slugs will evolve into snails with a moon stone lol.

      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

    • dmention7@midwest.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      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.

    NE near coastal fresh wetlands of the US are absolutely crawling in ticks. Ughhhhhhh. Nature has rejected us

    source
    • EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      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.

        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

    source
    • bob_lemon@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I envy people whose problem with ticks is borreliosis.

      Ours have the fun stuff: 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)

      source
      • Anivia@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        The vaccine against it also needs to be refreshed regularly

      Still waiting for the lyme vaccine to finish and become available.

      source
    • Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The vaccine only has a 80 % efficacy. Don’t go around getting ticks just because you get vaccinated.

      Also you’re supposed to tuck your pants into your socks

        Kevlar socks, ideally.

    Self immolation. It’s the only way to be sure.

    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)

    • Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      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
