Yup, I got 'em. Or... one.

So a bunch of us went swimming in a lake at a friend's lakehouse for a party, and there were ticks there, which we were all made aware of, so everyone was consciously checking their body for ticks. I look up and down my legs and I'm like, "Cool, no ticks," and I happily go about the rest of my day.

That was on Saturday.

Today, I'm in the bathroom, and there's a tick. On my penis. This sets me up quite well for some sort of "tick in a box" joke, I presume.

I really don't know how I missed it for five days, but I guess I don't constantly look down there for ticks. So I pull the tick off, stuff it in a plastic bag, and put it in the freezer, because that's proper procedure for handling tick bites. It's so that if you get sick, you can bring the tick with you to the doctor and they can perform tests and go all DIAGNOSIS!!!! on that tick. Good to know.

Anyways, I got some questions for you all.

1.) Anyone know how long it usually takes for symptoms of tick-borne illnesses to arise? It's been five days, I don't feel sick, and there's no bulls-eye on my skin for Lyme's disease or whatever, so I'm pretty sure I won't get sick, but I don't really know.

2.) How can you tell if a tick is dead, and how do they control their blood intake? I think they're generally pretty immobile, and this dude was on my penis, so I'm wondering if it would die to a boner or something. Higher blood concentration should mean more flowing into the tick, right?

I guess it all makes for a decent story.

Just make sure to check for a red rash that has little rings around it around the area where you were bit. That means lyme disease. Of course, you're in China so you probably have some different diseases than where I live.

I just put China because I'm Chinese. I actually live in Virginia. I should probably change that. Never really bothered to, though. Too much effort.

But the bulls-eye mark always shows up where the tick bite was? That would make sense...

1. I have had hundreds of ticks when I was a kid, cuz I loved to build huts in the forest, and never got sick.

2. Make sure you took the head. The head is strongly attached to your skin, and most of the time when you take off a tick, you only take out the belly/ass, and leave the tiny head on your skin. In that case, it still alive. Desinfect properly even if your dick might hurt.

I watched an episode of curb your enthusiasm that dealt with tick bites. this makes me an expert of sorts. make sure you get checked for Lyme disease!

Yeah, but supposedly you don't always get the bulls-eye w/Lyme. But I think only deer ticks give you Lyme around here, so just make sure it's not one of them.

you're supposed to grab it with something hot so they will let go of you instead of ripping them off and (sometimes) leaving their legs or w/e still inside your body, which is what might get you sick..at least that's what I was told when I was a kid

Seems more likely that the tick got on some clothes and days later crawled onto you.

yeah only deer ticks. they need to be on you for 24-48 hrs to get anything as lyme disease is passed through their salivary glands into you. this is why it's important to recognize and remove ticks ASAP.

watch for the target lesion, as others have said. should show up within the week if you have it. you don't always get the target lesion, though, as others have ALSO said. so if, in a few months,

you start feeling a little sick
just remember
the tick on your dick.
Im tired of following my dreams, man. Im just going to ask them where theyre going and hook up with them later. -mh

If you get sick, hope it is lymes. If you get rockey you are pretty much fucked.

to answer your questions:
1) a week to a week and a half is the incubation period. Takes about 24-48 to get it. so really almost 2 weeks.

2) they generally feed for a few days and then drop off. they dont really explode by eating too much. they can stop when they want to.
