Default Don't bite the ticks off your dogs

From a November 2003 article in the Journal of the American Veterinary
Medical Association, on the fatal transmission of Rocky Mountain spotted
fever from two dogs to their owner: "One man in Mississippi contracted
Rocky Mountain spotted fever when he killed ticks he had removed from
his dog by biting them with his teeth. This may seem unusual," the
veterinarian-authors wrote, "but we have since encountered other persons
who claimed to kill ticks by biting them." [Journal of the American
Veterinary Medical Association, 11-15-03]

Btw, a guy in Poland was just bitten to death by a sexually aroused
horse.
Why is it men who die in these peculiar ways?

shame on you, Chris! you've given me the horrors. that is
one of the most disgusting things i have *ever* visualized.


Well, ticks *are* hard to squish. When I lived in tick country,
after I yanked them out of Murphy or Tor, I ground them twixt my
thumbnails.
