Injecting Hydrogen Peroxide into tick full of blood - General

I guess you could say the tick was ticked off about that. edit: rate me zing you bastards, I was thinking on that one for an hour.

[QUOTE=Hidole555;40911666]Haha, no. Try resting on a couch or playing a game that needs focus like The Republia Times inside a house with a cricket nearby. Little bastard had to go. Besides, it was his fault for going where a vacuum couldn't get him. [sp]Found him floating in one of the pots water this morning. Kill Confirmed.[/sp][/QUOTE] shit dude you're so cool we should play call of duty some time bro

And I was expecting something more dramatic, like the damn bug exploding into a million pieces...

[QUOTE=Xieneus;40909384]If you leave wasps alone they'll leave you alone.[/QUOTE] Bullshit. After Hurricane Francis a few years back, I was in my yard cleaning up some of the garbage that flew in. Out of fucking nowhere this wasp just kamikaze'd into my fucking thigh

Doing that is like getting The Rock to punch a morbidly obese man in the stomach after his third lunch.

So how does this work? it clots the blood?

[QUOTE=MasterFen006;40909428]That. Does. Not. Work.[/QUOTE] I wish someone would tell my girlfriend this. We have a wasp nest on our balcony and she insists we sit out there because we aren't bothering them....

[QUOTE=GreenLeaf;40909037]Imagine if you injected that into your arm! yikes![/QUOTE] haven't you ever disinfected a wound with hydrogen peroxide or is that just me

[QUOTE=Tetsmega;40909072]I'd say ticks are the number one worst insect. Wasps would be second place.[/QUOTE] What about Mosquitoes?

Torturing something is sadistic, regardless of what it is, just swat it or something, at least then it'll die a quick death.

[QUOTE=OHNOES;40913548]Torturing something is sadistic, regardless of what it is, just swat it or something, at least then it'll die a quick death.[/QUOTE] its a tick, who cares

I've never seen so many people stand up for a parasite

[QUOTE=Judas;40913810]its a tick, who cares[/QUOTE] it's still deriving pleasure from killing and/or destroying something. doesn't matter what the subject of it is

[QUOTE=GreenLeaf;40909037]Imagine if you injected that into your arm! yikes![/QUOTE] Jesus. That's a wierd way to die

[QUOTE=Twipsters;40913884]I've never seen so many people stand up for a parasite[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Judas;40913810]its a tick, who cares[/QUOTE] It's a train of thought that not many people have, But I personally restrain myself from killing anything. The only exceptions would be if the tick was actually attached to myself or a pet. Unnecessary killing of living things in my opinion is a waste but I understand why people kill them and things like mosquitoes.

Those laughs and giggles make me very uneasy. They sound..psychotic.

[QUOTE=obdob;40910073]don't see how that doesn't make it sadistic. if you want to get rid of ticks for practical reasons you don't inject them with chemicals and laugh[/QUOTE] Bugs don't have a sympathetic nervous system. I don't see how sadism applies to something that doesn't even have the hardware for feeling pain.

But there's literally nothing good about ticks. They suck your blood, give you diseases, and if you try to remove them yourself you can create even more problems. In fact I'd even go as far as to say the world would be better without any ticks at all.

It's a fucking tick. They're the 2nd most irritating bastard of the natural world next to mosquito's. Seriously,its a [i]parasite[/i]. They carry diseases, checking yourself and your pets for those little fuckers gets super tedious and getting ill from their bites is beyond frustrating.

You're still finding pleasure in killing something slowly and preferably as painfully as possible, I'm sorry (not really), but there's absolutely no way you can justify doing something like this.

[QUOTE=choco cookie;40910732]That's very mean. Why would you say that?[/QUOTE] If you pull, twist or squeeze a tick it injects more fluids into you that may or may not contain diseases and other horrible things. You're supposed to put pressure at the head and pull it out cleanly, if it comes out cleanly you drop it into alcohol to kill it and preserve it in case of infection. If it's head is missing after removal then you need a skin biopsy to remove the embedded teeth/head that is now in your skin. You then disinfect the area and monitor it for signs of irritation, infection, swelling, etc. In such cases you go to the doctor (with your now-drowned tick) for analysis.

I'd rank biting flies like horseflies, deerflies, and giant horseflies as 2nd instead of mosquitos. Mosquitos are annoying. Biting flies are annoying and painful. Ticks really are the worst though.

Do they not have ticks outside of North America because how anyone can defend these disgusting annoying creates is beyond me. It's an insect. It's a parasite. It doesn't even feel anything. It can fucking kill you. Theres a difference between animal cruelty and killing a useless, dangerous parasite. If you let it go it's just going to attatch to some other person or animal and cause it misery.

[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;40914685] Theres a difference between animal cruelty and killing a useless, dangerous parasite. If you let it go it's just going to attatch to some other person or animal and cause it misery.[/QUOTE] like i said, injecting individual ticks with chemicals obviously isn't a practical way to get rid of them. so yeah, these people are just doing it for fun no one said it was cruelty anyway

I'm sure half of the people saying this is cruel would have no problem setting a spider on fire with a lighter.

[QUOTE=OHNOES;40914477]You're still finding pleasure in killing something slowly and preferably as painfully as possible, I'm sorry (not really), but there's absolutely no way you can justify doing something like this.[/QUOTE] Ticks will kill you slowly and painfully, the only difference is instead of killing it for "pleasure" they do it because they are monsters hardwired to do nothing but suck the life out of the nearest living thing. Or maybe they do do it just for pleasure, I don't know I'm not a tick, either way who gives a flying fuck about it. A ticks life does not equate the life of an animal or human.

Fuck ticks. This girl rocks.

[QUOTE=garry;40908599]Am I a pussy for thinking that's cruel?[/QUOTE] Even though it's just a tiny tick I kind of agree. When I see a tick I squish it and move on. I don't find some creative way to make killing it fun.

[QUOTE=Canary;40910720]There are ticks in the UK, your parents are stupid.[/QUOTE] They're not as common, unless you've had a mild winter and warm spring & summer. So if he moved to a place in the US that's much warmer in general than the UK, then you can bet your white ass on there's suddenly a fuckload more of the bastards than they're used to. [editline]5th June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;40914736]I'm sure half of the people saying this is cruel would have no problem setting a spider on fire with a lighter.[/QUOTE] I usually catch spiders and throw it them out to the birds.

[QUOTE=Ninja Duck;40914965]Even though it's just a tiny tick I kind of agree. When I see a tick I squish it and move on. I don't find some creative way to make killing it fun.[/QUOTE] I tore the wings off a fly once after seeing it in a comic. It just jumped up and down, doing backflips. I felt sorry for it after a while and put it out of its misery.
