So out yestday playing with some saws,had a good time and it was a nice warm day..winter gone and bugs not out yet
this morning over coffee and surfing AS i had an itch under my left arm,a good scratch took care of it but came away with some blood..
noticed i had broken off a tick embedded and the head was still in,NOT any easy place to get to with tweezers with one hand,cant gather skin and make it easily available at the same time..so decided to go have it taken care of and into the shower to make myself presentable to be seen by a medic..
While in there i found ANOTHER one thoruoghly embeded..
VERY uncomfortable driving the 45 min to the VA hospital with that thing stuck in me sucking blood !!
So when i got there the emergency room was empty and i got admited right away.. nice nurse lady asks where the ticks at,,i said one under my left arm and one (mumblemumble mumble),she say where ?? i say can i see the doctor ? she say you gotta tell me where the other tick is ! thats when i turned red and decided i had to do it so i may as well make a grand show of it and let every nurse in the room in on the big secret,so in a nice firm voice i told her.. "ON MY SCROTUM !! "
WELL !! every head in the place turned and she kinda turned color herself and left the room..
i had to wait awhile as they had to call in a male doctor to take care of it..
now i'm gonna tell you guys it aint no fun having some strange guy grab ahold of the "boys" and take a pair of tweezer and start yanking out the short hairs while trying to get the bug out !!
while he was doing it i pictured how it would look to an observer and started laughing !! here i am laying down with a johnny on pulled Up to my waist like that helped preserve my modesty with somebody having a hand wrapped around the family jewels and a pair of pliers in the other hand performing a delicate operation..
moral of the story ? PERMETHRIN is readily available and mixed right is safe to spray on clothing and keeps ticks OFF !
