Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve Camray.

00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to Stuff you Should Know?

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: From house Stuff Works dot com. Hey, and welcome to

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. There's Charles W. Chuckers Bryant

5
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: and that makes this stuff you should know. If you

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: didn't know, now you know. Happy birthday, Josh, Thanks Chuck,

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: it's your birthday. It is my birthday. Four. Uh, you're

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 1: closer to me an age now for about a happy year.

9
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: And I'm six months older than Umi, which makes me

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: a year older than Umi right now? Oh she your age? Yeah,

11
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: I think it's so funny. It's okay when you say

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: that because you are way way older than me. But

13
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: it's funny when people say that about people who are

14
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: like a year or two different. They're like, you know somebody, um,

15
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: who's they're almost our age. It's like our age is

16
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: a year, maybe a year and a half on either

17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: side of your age, maybe two years. But often think

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: we're the same age until you do something that reminds

19
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: me it's because we both act like we're eight. That's

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: where we're that's where we're on the same page. Case

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: in point, where's the worst place you've ever had a take? Well, Josh,

22
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: I know you know, because we share a commonality, and

23
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: I should a side from the show, I should warn

24
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: you I'm not going too fest up to anything on

25
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: this one before you do. I just want to give

26
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: you fair warning. Well, since I said that we share this,

27
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about, dude, Josh and

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: I have both had a tick in a very unfortunate place.

29
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: If you're a man, it was. There were different ticks though, Okay,

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: as far as we know, they good, well years apart.

31
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: Mine was last summer. This is the worst birthday? When

32
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: was your? Oh? Mine was years and years ago. Two

33
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: ticks last summer? Did you really horrible? Well, no one

34
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: was on my thigh and it's still itches and like

35
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: swells into a little bump every now and then look

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: at year later. You want to get that checked out there,

37
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: it's fine. I read up online. Sound fine? Now? I

38
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: read and they said tick bites can still bother you

39
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: for like years, evidently without lime disease or something like that. Yeah, okay,

40
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: well we're talking about ticks. Oh can I say the

41
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: inspiration for this real quick? Sure? Because I'm curious myself.

42
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: As you know, Josh are an official house fan the

43
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: Henry Clay people out of y Infested. They came through

44
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: town about a month ago, stayed at my house. About

45
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: a week and a half later, I get a call

46
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: from Joey, the lead singer and songwriter guy, and he said, hey,

47
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: you got ticks in Georgia. I said, sure, there's ticks

48
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: all over the place in this country. He got ticks

49
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: in l a And he said, Jordy, our keyboard player

50
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: has lime disease. Holy cow. He thinks he probably got

51
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: it from your house because you know, I live in

52
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: a wooded section of Atlanta, of Yeah, actually most of

53
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: Atlanta's wooded. Yeah, I think george is one of the

54
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: most wooded states in the country from what I understand. So,

55
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: Jordy got lime disease, and I am very sorry. Uh, Jordan,

56
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: if you got that from my house and residents, it

57
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: is likely, but although you were on tour, dude, you

58
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: could have gotten it from anywhere. Yeah, it's likely because

59
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: he's like, you know, the eighth or ninth person this

60
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: year to get lime disease. After you're like it, maybe

61
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: you know what that would make your house chuck a

62
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: infested haven of disease, a disease vector. Yes, let's not

63
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: get ahead of ourselves here. Here was my original intro.

64
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: You're ready. That was great, Chuck, thank you, that was great.

65
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Chuck, Josh, there is a tick

66
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: species called Epanoma comemodo, and say komodo wins. Eponoma komodo wins.

67
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: This is fascinating. It is a tick and it looks

68
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: almost completely like the scale of a Komodo dragon. It's

69
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: only host, the only animal that it feeds on is

70
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: the komodo dragon. Right. If it's sucking the life out

71
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: of a Komodo dragon, you can't tell just by looking

72
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: at it that it's a ticket. Looks like a scale.

73
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: That is the most interesting thing anyone has to say

74
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: about any tick anywhere. Okay, that's it. Uh. Does that

75
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: explain why the komodo dragon attack Sharon Stone's husband? Yeah,

76
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: it does. That's what I read it was mad with

77
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: in the Daily Mail. Disease. Yeah. Um, well, since we've

78
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: already gotten the most interesting part of this podcast out

79
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: of the way, Chucks um ticks story. The Henry Clay

80
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: People's lyme disease drummer, Right, keyboard player, keyboardists. And I

81
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: should mention you can buy the album somewhere on the

82
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: Golden Coast. You're such a chill how much what percentage

83
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: are you getting of growth sales? Nothing? Um, And and

84
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: then we've got the Eponoma Commodo ents story. Yeah, so

85
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to explaining ticks just because you know,

86
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: what we're doing here is explaining every aspect of the universe, right, Yeah,

87
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: ticks are a part of it at a time and

88
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: everyone stuff you should know, lovers, we have to trudge

89
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: through this together. Yeah. And I kind of see this

90
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: as sort of a half kind of interesting and half

91
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: public service announcement. Yeah, because the summertime and ticks are everywhere.

92
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: That is great idea and a lot of people there's

93
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: a lot of misinformation out there about ticks and how

94
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: to remove them. So we're gonna say straight yes, thanks Chuck,

95
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: way to frame that. Um, there is a lot of

96
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: misinformation out there, misunderstandings, uh, specifically with ticks being insects. Right,

97
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: they are not insects. They're arachnets. They have eight legs. Yeah,

98
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: well they're born with six like an insect, but they

99
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: will ultimately develop eight unless they're they're um disfigured. Uh,

100
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: they are not spiders, though they are in the same

101
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: group arachnets as spiders, but spiders have segmented bodies and

102
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: ticks is just one nasty, bloody lump of a body.

103
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: That's right. And um, there's about eight hundred and fifty

104
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: species of ticks in the world. And uh there I

105
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: didn't either. I thought it was just like I hate

106
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 1: you when I hate you more, right, um, And they're

107
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: generally you can divide ticks into two general types, the

108
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: hard tick and the soft tick. And the hard tick

109
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: I get the impression that if there is such a

110
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: thing as intelligent design, the hard tick was like version

111
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: one point oh and the soft ticks version two point oh. Yeah,

112
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: hard ticks are They're like the philis signs of the

113
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: arachnid world. They are an example of just the single

114
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: minded ruthlessness of genes to anthropomorphize, right, yea. Their entire

115
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: purpose in life is to suck blood so they can

116
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: reproduce and die so they can make babies that suck

117
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: more blood. Bloodsuckers are I'm a I'm a big animal, guys,

118
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, as are you? And I even save insects.

119
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: You know. I won't kill a bee, you know, or

120
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: a spider. I will usher them out somewhere else. But flies, mosquitoes, ticks,

121
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: and fleas no use for him. You and I are

122
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: on the exact same page. Those are the only four

123
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: insects that all kill. I won't kill a roach. Um,

124
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: I will kill roach. I won't kill kill the hell.

125
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: Roach never did anything to anybody. It's just it just

126
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: happened to be unfortunately ugly and like scuttle. That's what

127
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: it is. Roaches scuttle. That's why we don't like them.

128
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: You can't kill something for scuttling, something for being a parasite.

129
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: If it moved at least slowly across the room, I

130
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't kill it. But the fact that they run

131
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: like they've they're like they're looting exactly makes me want

132
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,119
Speaker 1: to kill them. All right, So those are insects we hate.

133
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't mind roaches, don't. I'm not going on record

134
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: with you on well, what does Umi do when she

135
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: sees a roach? I try to keep roaches out of

136
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: Umi sight. Think if we ever see him, I'm like, hey,

137
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: you look over here, and I'm like kind of brushing

138
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: it out like yeah, um, so Chuck, we're talking about

139
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: we were talking about the differences the hard tack and

140
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: the soft take. Right, let's talk about the commonalities. Takes

141
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: a pretty basic creatures, right, Um. They are one celled organisms. Right, No,

142
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: they're not. I'm just trying to jazz this up a

143
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: little bit. Okay, Um, they are. The commonalities are a body,

144
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: eight legs, I think eyes on either side. Generally most

145
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: of them have eyes. Um. And then the capitulum, which

146
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: is the mouth part. Right yeah, mouth parts is actually

147
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: a word, a single word, mouthparts, blood, sucking and gorge.

148
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: Everything about ticks are wrong blood meal, yes, um. And

149
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: then you've got on the hard tick a something called

150
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: a dorsal shield or a scutum, right um. And that's

151
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: pretty much it, unless you want to get into the

152
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: details of the mouth parts, which really just to add

153
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: a little more time to this podcast, we probably should.

154
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: Now they get in your body, that's what matters. What

155
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: it was interesting though, my friend, is the legs are

156
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: covered in little spiny hairs and it has the legs

157
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: have a tiny little pincher claw at the end, and

158
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: they use this too, you know, climb up grass blades

159
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: and vegetation, sticks, trees, and should we'll go ahead and

160
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: talk about questing, should we? Since we're right there, why

161
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: not ticks? How? This is how the hard tick feeds.

162
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: It goes on a quest and it literally will wait

163
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: on a blade of grass with this little pincher claws

164
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: up in the air for somebody to brush by them,

165
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: and then they'll go hack and then they'll latch onto

166
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: your pant leg or shoestring or whatever your face. Yeah,

167
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: and then it's all over. But we'll get into questing more.

168
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: But that's what they use, a little pincher. I don't

169
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: think there's anything more to questing. Well, yeah, you're right,

170
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: um we I I gotta vta you man. We should

171
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: talk about the mouth parts, right, Okay, So you've got

172
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: like the little what looks like their head, that's actually

173
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: their mouth parts, right right? Um. You have two flaps

174
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: on the side that are called palps. Yes, right, that's

175
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: a beautiful illustration. You have their color shiny um. Uh

176
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: So the palps when when a tick gets on you

177
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: right and starts digging in, the palps moved to the side. Yeah,

178
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: they're they're not part of the eating and digging in process.

179
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: Then you get the cellisera, which are too I guess,

180
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: kind of cutting boring mouth parts and not boring like

181
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: more like boring into your skin, right, um. And then

182
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: you have the hypostone, right, which is this um barbed

183
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: needle like protrusion that they just go room and start

184
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: sucking blood. But it's barbed in. The hooks curve backward

185
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: toward the tick, which makes it harder to pull out

186
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: if you if you pull a tick out the wrong way,

187
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: you just pull its body right off of its head

188
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: and its head stays in there. We'll get into how

189
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: you can you can get rid of a tick appropriately,

190
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: right speedily, safely, Yes, with with um, the whole thing intact,

191
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: So you can do what I do and drop it

192
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: into a glass of bleach and alcohol and just let

193
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: it die. Oh, I've put mine in a ziplock so

194
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: I could take well, no, just in case I needed

195
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: to take it to the doctor if my vice had

196
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: a bull's eye rash on it. Well, yeah, I mean

197
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: you can take the glass of the doctor. But yeah,

198
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, good point. You just wanted to kill

199
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: it in a cruel way. Okay, I hate those things, man, Well,

200
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: who likes ticks? So you'll notice then, um that you've

201
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: got the barbed hypostome, you have the hooked legs. Right. Um,

202
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: Everything these everything that has to do with ticks has

203
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: to do with like hanging on right and digging in

204
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: sucking right. As Tracy Wilson put it in this article, Um,

205
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: they are basically like a living blood pump. Yeah. The

206
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: all they feed on is blood, right, so gross, And

207
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: the entire point of their life is to eat so

208
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: they can grow up and reproduce and die like we said, right, yeah,

209
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: and when they eat, josh, their body their ideo suma.

210
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: If you want to get technical, it expands. A male

211
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: tick has the scutum or scoot them on the back.

212
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: I'm not I said scutum, but yeah, I couldn't tell

213
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: which way either way. We're both too lazy to go

214
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: onto mirriam webster dot com, aren't we. Uh So what

215
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: happens is the body of a hard tick male hard

216
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: tick can't stretch that much to hold the blood. Soft

217
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: ticks don't have the scut um, but they don't require

218
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: a whole lot of blood to live and lay eggs.

219
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: The real nasty one of the bunch is the female

220
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: hard tick. That's the one that goes from the science

221
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: of about a sesame seed to you know, something like

222
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: the right. Yeah, I saw one of my dog when

223
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: I was a kid, and that is stuck with me.

224
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: A big gorge tick that was I mean, it was

225
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: a big look like a big purple balloon. That was disgusting.

226
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: Their body is also very flat, so they can lay

227
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: flat while they're feeding. This is especially important for a

228
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: hard tick because the hard ticks are born, they feed,

229
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: they reproduce, and they die. Right, So a hard tack,

230
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: actually the hard tack female especially, we'll sit there and

231
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: feed for twenty four hours and that's that's really dangerous

232
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: as far as survival goes, because you're just sitting there

233
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: feeding hoping no one notices. Um, you get larger and yeah,

234
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: and you get bigger and bigger and bigger, and then finally,

235
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: if you make it until you're done with your blood meal, um,

236
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: you can fall off and lay some eggs after mating,

237
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: as many as eighteen thousand eggs. Yeah. Did you see

238
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: that picture. There's a picture in this article. It's pretty boss.

239
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: It looks like caviar coming out of the bottom of

240
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: a tick. You don't want to put that on the

241
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: tick just pooped out a bunch of caviar. That's what

242
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: it looks like. Can we talk about two amazing facts, Josh,

243
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: about how the tick um does its work when it

244
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: when it rips into your skin and die is in.

245
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: I thought we got the amazing facts out of the way. No, no, no,

246
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: these two are pretty amazing to Ticks do two things.

247
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: When they feed that blow me away. They excrete a

248
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: cement like substance into your body where they attached to

249
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: make it harder for them to fall off, and that

250
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: dissolves when they're ready to fall off. Fact number one,

251
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: I know they're like spitting up like that shot that

252
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: tastes like cement in your mouth. You know what I'm

253
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: talking about. Yeah, it's awful. And number two is they

254
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: have um, a substance to prevent your blood from clotting,

255
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: so they can just continually drink and it and it

256
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: won't heal. And that's all in your their saliva. And

257
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: this this happens from a tick's mouth. They have cement

258
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: and blood thinners basically, and their spit chuck. Let's talk

259
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: about the tick life cycle. All right, Clearly you weren't

260
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: as blown away by that's me no. Um, the tick

261
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: is born from caviare right after this stork brings it

262
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: to somebody's skin, maybe a lizard skin after the quest

263
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: and a latch onto your gene pant yes, right, your

264
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: pant leg Yeah, your gene pant your gene pant leg um.

265
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: So you're born, you are a tick larva. Yeah right.

266
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: And at that point you are about the size of

267
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: a period. And I couldn't find the font size for this,

268
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: but you're about the size of a period at the

269
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: end of a sentence twelve point five. Maybe there's a

270
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: big difference between ten and twelve point And I mean,

271
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: what if it's like a hundred and forty four point Yeah,

272
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: but that's you know, let's go with twelve standard. All right,

273
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: thanks for that. Um, you have six legs, remember, Yeah,

274
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: when you're born, you got six legs. If you've got

275
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: good genes, you're gonna have eight eventually. But first you

276
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: have to go find yourself a blood meal. And to

277
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: do that, you have to crawl along the ground and

278
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: maybe find a mouse with its tail hanging out or

279
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: lizard something with blood, And and the closer to the

280
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: ground the better because you can't really crawl that well yet, Yeah,

281
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: this is just before you can if you want to

282
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: grow up to be an adult tick. If you don't

283
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: get that first meal, you're done. Yeah, it's like a

284
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: sea turtles. Sure, after you get that first meal, right,

285
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: say you are a a soft tick. You get that

286
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: first meal, you're gonna do it pretty quick. And then

287
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: right you go back down to the ground. You drop off.

288
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: After you have your meal. You hang out. You're like, Okay,

289
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm really that that mousetail was packed with energy. I'm growing,

290
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm growing. I'm literally getting too big for my shell.

291
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna mold. And now all of a sudden, I

292
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: have an extra pair of legs. Look at that, and

293
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: you might call me a nymph. That's exactly what you

294
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: would be, right, And then you say, well, you know

295
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: what being a tick nymph? Now that I've molted and

296
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: a little bigger, it's kind of nice. I like a

297
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: six year a pair of legs, right right. Um, I'm

298
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: hungry again, so I'm going to go get another blood meal.

299
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: It's so grass Okay, So then you go you get

300
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: another blood meal. Um, and then you drop off again.

301
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: Sure you you stop hardening and clotting that your host's

302
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: blood from your you know, um saliva, you drop off,

303
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: you go grow again, you molt. Now you're an adult.

304
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: Now you're ready to reproduce. But first you give a

305
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: little tick bar mitzvah I guess sure, or bought mitzvah h.

306
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: But first you need a blood meal, so you go

307
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: get another blood meal. Right, and it's about here that

308
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: the life cycle of most ticks begins to end. Right,

309
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: Most ticks are three host ticks, is what they're called. Yeah,

310
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: but you know, Tracy pointed something out I thought was interesting,

311
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: is that a tick that does not get their blood

312
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: meal will die. But it could take like a year

313
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: to starve to death, to starve to death. So they

314
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: might be just um in nymph stage or adult stage

315
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 1: or whatever, just pining away on that blade of grass,

316
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: waving their little claw. No one ever walks by. And

317
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,959
Speaker 1: they can't they can't reproduce, they can't lay eggs, they

318
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: can't uh, they can't do the bump with their little

319
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: female tick friends. They can't do anything if they don't

320
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: get their blood meal. So they just it's like on

321
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: the couch basically, right, And so you would think, well,

322
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: then ticks are just stupid for being questers. You know,

323
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: it's such a willy nilly way to go look for food.

324
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: But as we said, ticks do have eyes and they

325
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: can um differentiate shapes that kind of thing. So they

326
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: can technically hunt us as parasites, right but not really. Yeah,

327
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: and they can see colors, yeah, so Tracy said they can.

328
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: They they use that to get in on a good

329
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: blade of grass with a high likelihood of some schmuck

330
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: camper like me walking by. Uh. They also can sense

331
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: carbon dioxide that animals exhale. Yeah, so that's kind of cool. Actually. Um,

332
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: so let's say you are a tick that has you're

333
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: a female hard tick and you're engorged. You've just made it.

334
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: The male you made it with just went off and

335
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: died right after mating. Yeah, well you both eat first, right,

336
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: and then you come together and you're like, hey, I'm

337
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: super full, and then you made That's what I called him.

338
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: The Philistines are like, let's go eat and then have

339
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: sex and then I'll die. So you're the female. Okay,

340
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: where where are you going? He said, I'm the female.

341
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: Oh and then after the guy goes off and dies,

342
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I better go lay my eggs and

343
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: then there's all this caviar that comes out, and um,

344
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: now you're dead, and then the life cycle begins a

345
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: new right. Generally, I don't think they always die, but

346
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: generally the female dies after they lay eggs, and the

347
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: male dies after they do do that thing, do the

348
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: thing that thing? Um yeah, so chuck, that's the life cycle.

349
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: I wish we had some sort of applause, right, is

350
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: that was riveting? Um? If at any point, let's say,

351
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: remember I said that most ticks are three host ticks. Yeah, uh,

352
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: if at any point one of those hosts, especially the

353
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: first or second host, happens to be a disease host,

354
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: then ticks become their disease vector. There a disease vector, right, Yeah,

355
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 1: But you can also, I don't even think you said

356
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: you can be a one host tick. If you find

357
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: a very gracious host, you might stay there your whole life. Right.

358
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: If you are a hard tick, yeah, you can be

359
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: a one or two host. But if you're a one host,

360
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: like you said, you're born and then you go start

361
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: feeding wherever you're born, and you reproduce and die and

362
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 1: you're like, this is this interior thighs? Nice? I think

363
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: I'll just stay here for my whole life. Yeah, so

364
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: chuck um if they do become a disease vector. And

365
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: by the way, ticks are the number one disease vector

366
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: in the animal world and among humans they're number two

367
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: only to mosquitoes as bugs that spread disease. Yeah. Um,

368
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: if you are a disease tick, how what what are

369
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: some of the things that you're going to spread? Well, Josh,

370
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: you can, um spread. I know everyone's sort of Rocky

371
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: Mountain spotted fever, that is if it started out obviously

372
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: in the Rocky Mountains, but now it's kind of in

373
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: many places in the US because of animals at migrate

374
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: and move around. Uh, you can get if you're in Australia,

375
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: you can get Queensland's tick typhus or Finlander's Island spotted fever. Yeah,

376
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: or uh, you know the big one is lime disease, yes,

377
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: which um Jordan has. I think he got the kind

378
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: that goes away with some antibiotics. You can I think

379
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: you can get it for life. If I'm not mistaken.

380
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: I think I didn't do a whole lot of lime

381
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: disease reacharch research, but I worked with a director one

382
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: time that um did a short film online disease. No, No,

383
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: he had lime disease I think forever and needed to

384
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: take like a little afternoon naps because it would wear.

385
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: He was just a lazy, So lime disease. The big

386
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: giveaway for that one is a bull's eye rash. It's

387
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: an inflamed raised area wherever the bite was. That's the center.

388
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: So it's real red and then kind of pale skin

389
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: or regular skin color and then real red again like

390
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: a ring around it, right or bull's eye all right, exactly,

391
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: So if you have that, you are um in big trouble.

392
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: And uh, Rocky Mountains spotted fever, I don't think lime diseases,

393
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 1: but Rocky Mountain spotted fever is a Ricket seal Rickett

394
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: seal um illness, and I looked this up. So basically,

395
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: you have a fever, general malaise, headaches, muscle cramps, you're tired,

396
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: it's just not you're feeling lousy. Yeah, you can actually

397
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: die from Rocky Mountain spotted fever if you don't get

398
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: anything treated. If you're like out, you know, doing the

399
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: Ted Kazinski thing and you never get treated for anything,

400
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: you could die. That's the second time today you mentioned

401
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: Ted Kazins know he's coming back? Are you bringing up

402
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: He's not really coming back? Don't worry. Um, if you're

403
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: bitten by a tick that's say, is spreading a protozoa

404
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: or a bacteria that's going to give you some sort

405
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: of infection. Um, you are not necessarily going to get

406
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: it immediately. Apparently. The rule of thumb is it takes

407
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: about four hours for a tick to transmit a disease, right, Um,

408
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: And it does so in a number of ways. The

409
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: first way is through its saliva, all right. Another way

410
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: is if you squeeze a tick, it can regurgitate blood

411
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: back into your skin. Oh that's what I was doing, right, Okay,

412
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: And um, either one of those ways could spread the disease. Again,

413
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: it takes about four hours. Um. So a good way

414
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: to combat ticks, if you're in a tick combat situation

415
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: is to look every couple hours. And you want to

416
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: look around your scalp. You want to look in the

417
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: folds like your armpit folds. Your neck you have like

418
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: one of those hot dog packs like for a neck,

419
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: back of your neck. You know I'm talking, um, around

420
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: your collar, the band of your whitey tidies that kind

421
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: of stuff nether regions, which you know, we don't need

422
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: to get back to that story, but that is those

423
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: are dark, spooky, damp places, and ticks like to go there. Um.

424
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: So if you find a tick, there's a certain way

425
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: that you want to get rid of it, right, only

426
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: one way. Pretty much. All those wives tales are no good. Yeah,

427
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: if you hear the you know, put a nail polish

428
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: on it and it'll suffocate it, or put a hot

429
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: match on it and it'll it'll release from you. All

430
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: that stuff is gonna make it do is and it

431
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: will vomit, disease, blood into your body. So none of

432
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: those things are right. What you want to do, Josh,

433
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: you want to get some tweezers, and you want to

434
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: grasp the tick very firmly, right as close to where

435
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: it attaches to your skin as possible. What you don't

436
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: want to do is twist it or yank it out

437
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: real fast. You want to pull firmly and really slow

438
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: and straight up and straight back or straight up from

439
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: your from your body, straight up, and you want to

440
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: pull it. Remember a tick, a tick's body is flat,

441
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: so it can lay flat. This is straight up. If

442
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: you if you were holding the tick up by its

443
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: bottom and its head was going straight down. Pull straight

444
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 1: up from where its head is burrowed into your skin. Yeah.

445
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: So if he's flat on your skin, you need to

446
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: get up under him and pull him right like a

447
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: perpendicular and then out. But you want those tweezers making

448
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: contact with his mouth parts right, not his head or

449
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: his body, because you're gonna pull his body right off

450
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: of his head. Yeah. Or you can squeeze the abdomen

451
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: and that will make it go right. So you don't

452
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: want to squeeze at the belly of the tick. Uh.

453
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: Immediately afterward, you want to wash the area with soap

454
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: and water. Oh you left out a step. You want

455
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: to drop the tick and glass of alcohol and bleach.

456
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: But like I said, don't do any of those other

457
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: stupid home remedies. There's really only one way to get

458
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: the tick out. Um. And you know we mentioned the

459
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: cement like substance in the saliva. It uh, it actually

460
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: works better the longer it feeds. So if the tick

461
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,719
Speaker 1: has been in there a little while, it's gonna be

462
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: harder to remove for that reason, because the cement is

463
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: is you know, working right, because you have the cement.

464
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 1: You have the barbed hypostome, you have the the hooked

465
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: legs that the thing doesn't want to let go until

466
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: it's ready to, So you have to you have to

467
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: make it want to with your tweezers, right, yes, So

468
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: there are some ways to protect yourselves from ticks in

469
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: the first place, light colored clothing helps because ticks show

470
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: off against them very easily. Um. And if you see

471
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: some ticks crawling on your light colored clothes, take some

472
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: packing tape and make a ring around your four fingers

473
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: and then just like you're getting hair off you. Yeah,

474
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: that's the the cheap lin roller, Yes, poor man's lit roller,

475
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: right yes, um, or in this economy, just about everybody's

476
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: lint roller, am I? Right? Um? You want to wear

477
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: long sleeves And the rest of the sentence is the

478
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: best visual that I got from this entire article. You

479
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: want to look like a Doric basically where long sleeves comma,

480
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: and tuck your pants into your socks or boots. Can

481
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: you just see Tracy Wilson working out in the yard

482
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: with like her pants tucked tinder socks with a hat. Yeah,

483
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: where I had some number three? And you should wear

484
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: a hat and wear gloves and you can use insect

485
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: repellent with deet. And if you're interested in learning more

486
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: about deep I wrote a pretty interesting article about deet,

487
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: not long enough to do a podcast, but I would

488
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: recommend reading it. Eats nasty though, Dude, check out my article.

489
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: Isn't it like really harmful? Just read the article. Just

490
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: type in D E E T in the handy search bar.

491
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: So that's you know. Obviously, the gloves thing is if

492
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: you're working in the yard, and that's where you're to

493
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: find a lot of ticks around wood piles and uh high, Well,

494
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 1: they say to keep your yard in shape because if

495
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: you have like a well kempt mode lawn, you're not

496
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: as likely to have ticks as if you've got weeds

497
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: and piles of garbage. Because remember the an adult um

498
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: hard tick quests right high up on unmod you know,

499
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: grass or whatever. Um, so you want your hand, you're

500
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: waiting for um. So yeah, keep your mar yard mode.

501
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: You're all set um and chuck. You know what you

502
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: need to do? Check my dogs. You need to go

503
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: around your yard with like a piece of white cloth

504
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: and just drag it. And if you see a bunch

505
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: of ticks, on it, you got an infestation. If not,

506
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: you tell Jordan then he's a liar. Right, Yeah, that's scary.

507
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: I I've had a flea infestation and that was awful.

508
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: When I was in l A dude, we were infested

509
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: big time. And uh, it was one of those deals

510
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: where I couldn't find they were coming from. So I

511
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,959
Speaker 1: went out in the backyard with bare feet one day

512
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: in shorts on because I had a feeling they were

513
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: coming from outside. And I just kind of walked around

514
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: the yard really slowly, looking down. And we had this

515
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: shed in the back for a yard with about a

516
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: two ft gap between the shed and the fence that

517
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: no one ever goes. Obviously went around there. As soon

518
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: as I walked around the corner, I looked down and

519
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: I had about two hundred fleas on my legs. Oh yeah,

520
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: And I freaked, obviously, and then I destroyed them with

521
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: chemicals and fire. Nice fire just kind of puts the

522
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: exclamation point on things. Ton. I can't imagine a tick

523
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: infestation though, that's like, that's even worse. Yeah, No, I

524
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: can't even then fleas, But I don't think it looks

525
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: like a flea infestation. I think if you have like

526
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: five or six ticks on your white cloth. That's an infestation.

527
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell. I thought it might be like hundreds

528
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: of ticks on your No. I think like, if you're

529
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: dragging your cloth through your yard, there shouldn't really be

530
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: that many kicks. All yeah, like there should be a

531
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: chance that there's no ticks. But if there's some. I

532
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: know you're talking about the fleas and it is disconcerting

533
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: because I've looked at my leg and seeing that too. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

534
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: we have very similar backgrounds. Are you wearing that? What?

535
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: Trashy backyards and infestations? Chuck? You and I are going

536
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: to come up with a T shirt design that says

537
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: I listened to the Tick episode and we have to

538
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: figure out a way that people can prove that they

539
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: listened to this entire episode, and if they did, we

540
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: need to come up with a T shirt because they

541
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: deserve one for making it through this one with us. Yeah,

542
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: this was sort of scabies esk in the itch count

543
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: stay more interesting. I'm saying, like they made it through

544
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: it like they are hardcore devotees, you know what I mean?

545
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: I thought this is good? Okay, Uh, if you want

546
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: to learn more about ticks or get a visual of

547
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: um Tracy Wilson with her pants tucked into his socks.

548
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: You just tight ticks into the handy search bar at

549
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: how stuff for dot com? And now it's time for

550
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: a new segment, an occasional segment. Don't freak out. It's

551
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: not like listener mails going anywhere. We'll still do Facebook stuff,

552
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: but every once in a while we have to say

553
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: thank you. So this is what we call so, yes, Chuck,

554
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: this is a new segment. Right, every once in a

555
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: while we get stuff UM mailed to us, all sorts

556
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: of awesome stuff, and it just piles up. Um, I

557
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: should say the thank you's pile up and we just

558
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: need to knock him out every once in a while. Yeah,

559
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: because we are very grateful for everything. Right, Yeah, I

560
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: would have called this fan appreciation or fan thank you,

561
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: not administrative detail. But you weren't raised in a skinner box,

562
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: were you. Okay, Josh, Well we'll split these up here.

563
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,239
Speaker 1: We we've had a lot of wait, what are we doing?

564
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: We're doing the thank yous? Right, Okay, Um, We've had

565
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people send us things over the past

566
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: what is this past six months or so? You want

567
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: to start with stuff. Yes, stuff, yes, because like ticks,

568
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: administrative detail, thank you's can be divided into two groups, right,

569
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: and even stuff can be divided into books. We got

570
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: a lot of books we did UM from the authors themselves, right,

571
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: including our buddy I Inspector. He created the Chuck Norris

572
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: fact Generator, right, and he just came out with his

573
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: new book, Chuck Norris Cannot Be Stopped, and he sent

574
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: his copies of that. He's milking it. I was disheartened

575
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: that he sent it to the tech stuff guys too.

576
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: I tried to talk him out of it. He's like, no,

577
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm too nice a tool him. I would Uh. We

00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: And we also got a Catcher's Companion, The Hidden World

606
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: of Holden Caulfield by Sean McDaniel. And I've just kind

607
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: of browsed it. I haven't given it a sit down

608
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: and read yet. Um, but Sean put together basically like

609
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: an annotated catcher in the Rye. It's pretty amazing stuff. Um.

610
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I'm pretty sure you could probably

611
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: find most of these on Amazon. I don't know some

612
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: of the search. Yeah, definitely. Some of them might be

613
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: self published, but I think people should support self published books.

614
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: And there was one more book. We mentioned it briefly once,

615
