    Dad once thought it would be funny to catch the hedgehog that wandered through the garden, and since wild animals are usually full of parasites, sure enough he caught a tick. That wouldn't be such a problem on its own, if only it didn't turn green. Grandma (from mom's side) was a doctor and urged him to get tested for Lyme, and sent the dead tick for testing as well. Dad was fine, fortunately, and it turns out that the reason the tick turned green and died was due to severe alcohol poisoning.

      @@Cryoutious Nonsense. There's nothing "important" about ticks. They're parasites that cause huge amounts of harm to human beings. Spare me the sophistry about the intricate web of ecology. Ticks, mosquitos, rattlesnakes, and anything else that causes suffering to conscious intelligent creatures for no good reason should be purged like the scourge that it is.
      If there _does_ end up being some environmental consequence, we'll adapt. Nature has already been fundamentally altered on our watch, so time to let go of the green purism. Go have a nice GMO burger-you'll feel better!
      The old 'if bees were to disappear, we'd all be dead in a week' folk-wisdom meme is really becoming stale. Life is nearly irradicable; it has been selected precisely for its ability to adapt.

      @@pocket83squared I agree with mosquitos and ticks being wiped out of the universe. However as for the rattlesnakes it's different because they only bite in self defence. They even give you the warning rattle sound if you try to approach them.
