Talk:Tick

From Academic Kids

If a tick were expanded, like in a 1940s sci-fi film, so that it were the size of a large house, what sort of gun would u need to penetrate its exoskeleton? Pizza Puzzle

A big one? Seriously, I have no idea. I'm more interested on why you want to know. You're not planning on becoming a mad scientist and genetically engineering giant ticks, are you? --Dante Alighieri 22:21 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Im just observing that I can punch a tick repeatedly with my hard knuckle and the thing is still alive. When I was in summer camp, we would impale ticks on tacks and leave them around as warnings to the other ticks. They would live for 3 days despite being impaled. Pizza Puzzle

Don't lie. I know of your fiendish plans... You hope to rule as all with your invincible army of giant ticks. ;) --Dante Alighieri 22:27 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Forget trouble with squashing ticks with your hands, I recently had trouble squashing a tick between a ceramic tile and a piece of hard plastic! --Carnildo 03:47, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

No! Don't tell Poindexter! NO! Pizza Puzzle

I have a strange-looking bump on a mole or other large spot (the spot has been there for a long time but the bump on it is a new development) which I suspect may be a tick. Means of identifying ticks, including a picture of one doing its thing on human skin, would be helpful. It might go under "tick removal" but identifying ticks is a separate problem, it just leads to the other. --Furrykef 02:46, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

In the research I did, I found no evidence that any tick jumps. Some places said it was physically impossible, as tick legs are not meant for jumping. I am curious to know which Midwestern ticks are reported to jump. What are your sources? Mr. Internet 18:22, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
