| Topic | Just found a tick on my stomach. |

You don't want it to barf into you since that's a good way to get a disease, therefore you don't want to kill it while it's attached. You also don't want to twist it in case pieces of it break off in you. I had a couple ticks on my head a few months ago and went to the clinic at CVS to get them removed, much cheaper than urgent care or ER and I was too worried to do it myself. The clinician gave me those instructions if it happened again and I didn't want to come in (although I was pretty sure I remembered those from middle school health class as well, but not 100% sure). --- People who don't finish their sentences I'm a Team Fortress 2 superfan!
