Why Ticks Are So Hard To Kill

- Ticks are one pest you don’t want to mess with. Once they find a secluded spot on your skin, they use two hook-like structures to tear into your flesh. Then they insert a barbed straw and get to work. If that’s not bad enough, ticks also transmit at least 16 different diseases to humans, such as Lyme. And research suggests that several species of ticks - and the diseases they carry - are now spreading in the US.

My dog used to have ticks sometimes in the summer and I would take them out with a tick tweezer, put them in a piece of paper towel and I would burn it with a lighter. The tick would explode and burn and that's really the only way to get rid of those spawns of hell.
That’s what I did but other people put em in cactuses but I burn em
Good that’s what they deserve
what about crushing them to death
@@James-ei3jt You can't they have a hard shell.
@@eggdawg8672 You actually can crush them. It just takes a lot of force. It's much easier to cut them in half. As a dog groomer that's what we would do when we would find ticks on the dogs.
Opossums eat 90% of ticks that stick to them and also eat those they find on other surfaces. Imma take opossums to my hikes now.
just opossums chilling in a cooler, crack it open and lettem search you for ticks, it's a symbiotic relationship.
They chew the head off of their prey for fun but other than that they’re pretty cool.
I like opossums now.
"ticks are hard to kill!"
my older brother: *literally stabs them with a toothpic*
I stayed in a backwoods joint for a while, I'd make the ticks walk across scissors and chop them in two when they climbed to the crevice. After burning them off. They deserve carnage.
exactly what i did in my video about killing ticks

Ruby Curwick it’s not 😂
XxxxX oh man. Yeah. I remember as a kid he’s take tweezers and a lighter. Now I’m grown and live on my own. If I find a tick I’ll have to call him for help lol. I don’t have the heart to do that. I accidentally vacuumed a beetle that somehow got in my apartment the other day and felt terrible lmao
Ruby Curwick aww I feel bad for you bro
My friend : *kills it
How to avoid ticks:
*"Don't go outside"*
Mohit Grewal that’s no problem for me
Already don’t do that so I’m good
Introverts know how to do that. But guess what...
I'm a introvert!
i never go outside anyway ☺️
@Shooting Star Ivan yes ;^;
"Why ticks are so hard to kill" Literally doesn't explain why ticks are so hard to kill.
Yes it does they say it's because they numb the pain and they are sneaky bois
Yes they did
I think it’s more explaining why they are hard to commit genocide against instead of just killing singular ticks
Clearly didn’t watch the video
@@thomasvanbesien6173 I think he meat somethig like they are "hard to spot" but not "hard to kill". Once you spot it its not hard to kill actually, but yeah...You cant kill something that you cant spot so I understand your point too...
Fun Fact: do NOT use a match or alcohol to try and make a tick "back out". This causes them to vomit, which massively increases the chance for disease transmission. Just grab em rip em off 🤘
Ticks can vomit?
But you need rip head or it will grow back
Yea I've gotten hundreds of them on me and tried many different things and I agree it's best just to pull them off but pull easy so you can try to pull the hypostome out which is what holds them in. The less you leave in there the better off you are although I usually get a nasty bump that turns to a scab and lasts quite a while, chiggers and fleas do the same thing to me. I'm in NC and this seems to be a hotspot, I'm from Florida and have spent most of my free time in the woods and the same in NC and I've gotten way more here. Me and my wife once pulled either 62 or 63 little tiny ones off me and you can probably guess where most of them were lol.
You don't think they will vomit after you decapitate them with their heads still buried in your skin. Wow I never thought I'd write that sentence in my life...

*_They literally barely touched on why ticks are so hard to kill_*
They’re so hard to kill because they’re virtually undetectable on your skin, not hard to use common sense 🤷♂️
Mr.Tibs fr lmao
@@MrTibs_ no? They're literally easy to see and feel on your skin
They're hard to kill because their saliva has pain numbing and immune suppressing stuff.
They stick into your skin and are hard to rip out.
They can survive underwater for days.
Mr.Tibs
Can you smush them to death?
Or is literally just “hard” to kill them because you can’t see them
Also check the groin area, scalp, and around armpits for ticks that have latched. They love hiding in dark moist hard to spot areas. I stopped hiking and camping in tick country. Just too many and the risk of Lyme or other diseases is not worth it to me anymore esp when you’re older and your health is paramount.
Too true. And just one more reason to loathe these wretched creatures. They've forced us to eschew our time in the woods and forests.
I had Lyme disease in 2007. I was sooooo sick for 3 months and had a Bell’s palsy. Half of my face wouldn’t work. I was scared af. The meds made me puke up everything.
did it go away or is it one of those things that keeps coming back?
@@clockworkman8210 The initial disease can be cleared up, but many people will have chronic symptoms after treatment, some many years after it's "cured". They believe it is due to an autoimmune response. The chronic effects can mimic things like arthritis and even Alzheimer's and dementia.
@@MukGames ah ok, thanks for the reply
hope ur ok dude
@@clockworkman8210 I mean I think it was cured. But idk I got really depressed after that for years and years along with terrible anxiety. I’m not sure if it’s because of the Lyme or just life itself but for the most part it got cured pretty quickly.

"This tick can clone itself"
*BACK TF UP* 😨😰
That’s fucked
This is bullshit ✋😔🤚
that meant female of some species of ticks under some circumstances can reproduce asexually without males. that makes them very efficient in extending their territory. a female accidentally carried far away by humans to new area where there is no other ticks can start a colony.
Thomas has never seen such bullshit before
That is a lie

My mom also complained of a sore toe once, and then on the second day, she happened to really look at her foot and finally noticed that there was a tick in between her toes just feasting away. My sister found one in her belly button all gray.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I KNOW RIGHT EXACTLYYYY!!!!! XDXD LOL!!
Solar-Encoded lol I didn’t know that but sure will do
@Solar-Encoded I trap ticks in a jar then cut them in half with a sharp knife
they're too small for you to do any damage stepping on them, and even if you squash them they'll just recover and scuttle away. they're easier to kill when they've fattened up with blood tho
Solar-Encoded
I inject them with stuff to see what happens
Like liquid nitrogen or chemicals to see what happens
"Ticks can carry disease"

They take 1-2 hours to find a good place to bite so just holding them for a few minutes wont do anything.

@ForestofTooMuchFood you must be fun at parties
Growing up on a farm back in the 70s. There was a ritual My family would perform in the evening just before going to bed. My brothers and I would sit around like primates going through our hair and picking ticks off of each other. Back then, we bathed once a week usually a Sunday night. But we did do a lot of swimming in creeks after working in tobacco.
I’m a dog owner, and my dog has had a tick once. One day he kept itching himself so we checked him for ticks, but found nothing. Next day, he rolled over onto his back like he’s asking for a belly rub. I noticed a weird mark near his no no square. I looked at it and it was a tick

I can’t choose which ones worse. A tick that sucks your blood or a mosquito that itches the hell out of you.
A tick. A mosquito bite will last a few days at worst. A bad tick bite where it gets really in there will stay for months. Put it like this I had one really in there in my arm back in april or may. It's only now not a noticable bump.

Lmfao
Lmao...shops in the women's section for sure
So the world is basically making every other animal extinct..
But you can’t make some simple pest such as ticks and mosquitoes die?
Agreed.
But really... I think its because insects generally are a species that can evolve or adapt quickly and easily depending on the environment and circumstance they're in.
Think about it. Cockroaches existed during the age of dinosaurs. And they're still present to this day! 😱
Ughh. I wish the number of insects would go down rather than other animals.
There are some animals that feed on them, and they control population.
they evolve so fast, they really are hard to kill. Think about it, bed bugs reproduce (and die) so fast, than in a matter of months they can become resistant to a chemical, any bigger animals would need hundred of years to do the same
Not all animals are that easy to kill
insects are the number one source of protein for many kinds of reptiles, if their population decreases, it will highly affect the survival of reptiles.
keep in mind that every animal that exists has a role to the ecosystem
🌿⛰☺️💫🌅
I remember I was taking a vacation with my family in Minnesota so my mom could get married, and I found a tick in my back, so I took it off, and took my gum out of my mouth, wrapped the gum around the tick, and then took a safety pin and started poking in the gum, impaling the tick multiple times.
My 2 dogs started getting them, but I groom them daily, so I never allowed them to infest them, I always got the tiny before they sucked blood.
But I was getting tired of them. Showers and powders didn't work fast enough. What made the disappear was NexGuard, a chewable tablets.

I live in the South where ticks run rampant. We were always taught to burn them with a lighter. They immediately pull off and it kills them.
No. You have to grab them by the bottom , mouth, and twist off. If you burn them, kill them, or injure them they just dig in deeper. They will die before they release. Just use a tick tweezer.
By force The left over parts left inside will cause an infection. Then you have to manually remove the legs, mouth, etc. Nasty critters. Been bit too many times to try to burn.
You are thinking of leaches. Those you can burn off. Bit by those too.
Experience from Texas.
We just used to rip them out and throw them on the stove burner.
ᎦᏝᎬᎬᏃᎽ bruh same but once I ripped it off I’d get a hammer and squash the fucker
The recommendation in Australia, if you find one on your body that is already feeding, do not disturb them or try to remove them but rather use something like a cryotherapy spray for warts, available at most pharmacies/drug stores.
What's bad about taking them of after they already started their feast?
If you squeeze, you regurgitate the tick and it's disease.
I did it once thinking it was a skin tag, doc put me on antibiotics for a month. For prevention because I couldn't identify the tick. Good thing, got a huge ring a day later.
( If you pinch skintags, they fall off a bit later)
@@adinameadows7959 Trying to remove it physically can make the tick try to bury itself deeper and can also cause the tick to release its toxins into your blood.
