    I had a tick latch onto my leg in Kenya... Against my better knowledge, I thought I'd be a real man and stub out a cigarette on it to remove it. It just bit down harder and I burnt my leg! So I got some vas and smothered he, just like I'd been taught on the EH module for my medical training... It worked, fagbutt didn't.

    That was 12 years ago, but I don't think I had any health problems related to the tick. I'm rarely ill, most of my health issues are injuries brought about by the poorly designed human body... Silicon skin, titanium bones and fatigue resistant muscle fibres would have been a better choice of materials. Maybe a couple of extra arms too...

    To get back on topic, I've never encountered ticks in the uk

    Never had them, but I just learned a big deal about them and how to deal with them thanks to your links. I just ordered a tick remover.
