NSFW: Tick/Dick Pic
2 Attachment(s)
Anyone wondering why I am posting a picture of a tick on my scrotum should read the "you sound like a horny moose" thread. And then give me more horny moose jokes.
Ok monster these are for you: |
The story:
I went hiking. I came back. A few days later (!) I noticed a little passenger. Awwww fuck. The third worst part was having to sit down at my computer to look up the instructions for tick removal, knowing the little bastard was still attached. :borg: The worst part was getting a pair of tweezers and having a tug of war with something that is holding on to my scrotum with its teeth. Tenacious little bugger, I'll give it that. :thepain: The second worst part was, since Lyme disease is possible (but rare) in Japan, going to a hospital to get some antibiotics, and having to explain to the desk staff and nurse (who did not speak English) why I wanted to see a doctor, with a waiting room full of people. Okay, I'd taken the critter alive and brought him in with me in a little box, but then they asked me "doko?" ... "where?" ... "ON MY FUCKING NUTSACK BITCH!" :lol: At least all doctors here can speak English. There, monster, I hope you're happy now. PS I acknowledge that there is no dick in the photo. But tick/scrotum pic just isn't as catchy. |
next time get some anbesol tooth pain gel, and put a blop on the tick....they come right off.
|
Hmm...your camera is probably 10 times better than mine. I'm actually jealous right now.

All the research I did said explicitly not to put any chemicals on them, it will likely make them "vomit" and thus inject a big load of pathogens, including any Lyme disease bacteria they may be carrying. Just grab as near the skin as you can, and pull straight without twisting. But ... pain relief gel ... might have been good. Except then I'd have to go to the chemist and ask for some tooth pain gel, and explain (with mime and sign language) that I wanted it to put on the tick on my scrotum... probably get arrested. I'd rather take the smarting for a few moments thanks. :p |
:lol: I always wanted a dick tick pic dedicated to me. I wonder of the tick was female?. Then, if you'd used chemicals, it would have been a dick sick chick tick pic.........

6 megapixels, 7.1 x optical zoom, 3.6 x digital zoom, macro to 1cm focus ... in a slimline design. But get the R6 model - better resolution, better digital zoom, 4 times better video resolution. But for some dumbass reason you cannot move the optical zoom while filming video. Only drawback. |
no vid zoom is common. all digicam vid in my exp behave the same.
camcorder, different story. /end of material I wish to comment on |

Myself, I was envying those newfangled clear plexiglass scrotums.

What is the plural of scrotum? Forum --> fora .... scrotum --> scrota? They're both Latin, aren't they? |

I post a picture of my balls... and you are admiringly jealous of my &%$#ing CAMERA?? Thanks a &%$#ing lot! (storms out in disgust) :lol: Also, I have posted a larger version of this picture in the Photoshop thread for folks to get creative with. It is still only 89 KB though, the original is 2MB. If folks want the original, let me know. |

*sorry folks...I can't help myself* :D Let me go ask my husband if ball-licking is alright....be right back. (for a better look at the natural world) Oh, and I'm nick-naming you "The Tick" sorry........ |

You must have a very tasty scrotum Zen. lol (really laughing here) lol lol lol
|
That's my belly, Ali. This time.
See the Sun/Blotted thread for details. |
lol....still funny.
|
And if that's your belly, you have a hairy one I must say. It looks a lot like your scrotum in the pic. lol
|
Do the drapes match the carpet? :p:
|
I didn't realize there was a scrotal tick thread or I would have posted my recent tick in situ.
I have a scan of the tick somewhere. |
A tick in your sutu HAS to hurt.
|
If we get enough in situ photos we can publish a study of tick-dicks (dick-ticks?) relating anatomical location to risk factors like amount of beer consumed while in a tree stand, presence/absence of hippie traps, etc. .... :lol:
On second thought, I don't want that to be the first study for which I'm primary author ... |
a one handed self portrait. with animals. ew.

And Lyme Disease. :eyebrow:
|
I was reading an article recently about a guy who collects deer ticks to study and try to find a cure for Lyme Disease. Or maybe it was a radio program. Anyway, the one thing that stood out to me was that where he was, 60% of all deer ticks carry the disease. Which is amazing to me. That's huge. 60%!
|
Lyme disease is just a spirochete bacteria, there's an antibiotic that deals with it.
|
Yeah, my friend got it only a couple years after the disease was identified, and it wasn't well known then, so she wasn't diagnosed for a while. She had to get intravenous antibiotics for her spine over several months to take care of it.
Nasty business. |
It's moved to dog ticks too. The problem here is, it's very difficult to get a positive test for Lyme. Without a positive test doctors are only allowed to give IV antibiotics for a short time, too short a time, because the government's trying to cut down on overuse of antibiotics.

It was holding on so tight, and it was so tiny...and he was losing his shit. I put it on there to numb him, and it just let go. I didn't think of it vomiting bacteria. He didn't get lymes, though, so...win. I'll use that again. |

Completely extraneous story just to bring in John Barrowman.
His husband is addicted to searching the internet if he feels any symptoms of illness. He decided one night he had Lymes diease because of his aching muscles. JB called his sister who lives in the US to get a first hand idea of how this disease really represents. She made it clear the first thing to do was check Scott's whole body for ticks, especially the scrotum. One way or another they managed to fall asleep after this search was conducted. In the morning Scott admitted he was probably just not as fit as he thought he was. He'd done an assault course with some handsome young soldiers the day before and the unexpected aching was more to do with trying to impress them than any ticks. The above story is lifted from JB's autobiography, not something he just happened to mention to me when we were down the pub. |

If my (as-yet-unborn) grandchildren die of pneumonia because Purdue currently packs chickens in so closely that it has to give them antibiotics to keep them from getting sick, then I think our priorities are messed up. |

Basically, bugs mutate faster than we can keep up. At my local academic medical center, residents are forbidden to use Cipro without the permission of the Infectious Disease department because resistance to Cipro is exploding. It'd be nice to still be able to use that med in a couple years. One of the hardest things for a doc in an office is persuading patients they DON'T need an antibiotic. If they don't get it, they go to the next Urgent Care or ER, where some beaten-down PA will give them what they want. Then they make a formal complaint to the first office/ER/Urgent Care about how they didn't get what they 'needed', and the first doc, who was right in not prescribing, catches crap. Or gets fired. So eventually all the providers get beaten down and just write the scripts, because that's the object of the visit and everyone knows how the game goes. I wish the attitude here were more like that in Europe, where apparently doctors have to argue patients into taking antibiotics. |
Not to mention the GPs make mad coin

:smack: Over-prescribing is bad, but an incomplete course is at least as bad. |

lol...ok then. If it means that much to you, it's not balls. :)

When I worked in an Urgent Care in the late 80's (and health care coverage was REAL and their co=pay was anything from zero to ten bucks to see the doc) we'd get these soccer mom's who would bring their kids in for the tiniest little thing like a superficial abrasion and practically threaten a lawsuit if we didn't Rx an antibiotic. It was almost like a competition: Only the Best Mom's have their kiddies on Antibiotics Nearly Constantly.
it was fucking ridiculous. Then we'd have the 65 year old who looked 110 who fell at home and got glass in her nasty, unwashed for 10 days hair and yours truly would get to pick the glass-and whatever else was in there-out of her hair so the doc could suture her up. why didn't I quit much, much sooner?????? |
Because you're a people person.;)
