Yes, the best way to kill a tick is to burn it.

Would stepping on it not be enough?

I’m not sure the folklore I know there is a reason but it’s always been presented as a solution.

Thank you I knew there was reason but I also chalked it up to it’s a tick who cares it doesn’t provide anything worthwhile.

I put it on a paper towel after finding it on my leg, took it outside, and glassed it with a propane torch.

honestly I agree with you but the only way to actually kill a tick is by burning it. they’re surprisingly resilient bugs but using fire is basically an instant death for it w minimal suffering

Ticks have no justification for their being, they aren’t bees. They literally just spread diseases, like mosquitoes they are a nuisances.

spreading disease is their justification, they keep wildlife populations in check

replying to this just for visibility, but if a tick is attached to you do NOT use fire to get it off. it takes several hours of being attached for a tick to inject diseased material into you, and if you distress it it would detach itself but not before injecting its diseases prematurely, always use needle nosed tweezers from the base or a tick key

So does hunting, a tick disease that can be passed to people because we come in contact with the animals it’s found on is not worth it. Bye bye they go.

Hate to break it to you but mosquitos are pollinators they still do more than ticks lmfao

Yeah but hunting is only a thing because we killed all the deer predators and have to deal with over population. There was a stream in place and we fucked it up. Can’t really complain about it

I have never encountered pollinating mosquito much like I’ve encountered a hornet I wanted to run into. They are same equivalence to me save the bees but the ticks, mosquitoes and wasps/hornets can go.

I literally hit a deer the other week at 5am in the fucking morning on the highway not near a woods or anything so no I’m complaining, fuck them deer too.

Bees are wasps. And wasps are incredibly important to the ecosystem 😭😭 playing favorites based on how they’re act in a vacuum instead of their environment is so childish

You hit the deer and you’re upset at the deer? And you know that deer are edge species right? They don’t have to be near woods?

Umm no bees may be wasps but not all wasps are bees I’m clearly I’m referring to the wasps that are aggressive like a Yellowjacket.

I’d just like to say that EVERYTHING has a justification for being, everything that is living has a role in the ecosystem it lives in. Ticks are a main part of the diet of possums and many other animals, without them the whole ecosystem would be thrown off balance. It’s easy to say that bugs which are a nuisance to us have no purpose, but they really are important!

im not sure why they’re downvoting you for this, we did kill off a lot of natural predators for deer and that has wreaked havoc on ecosystems and wild deer populations!

they didn’t use fire while it was on their leg obviously

it’s not? nothing I said isn’t based in fact! they keep populations in check, are part of the diets of many species including birds, and they are an indicator species for how well ecosystems are doing. they are important whether or not you view them as a nuisance! everything has a purpose

Mhmm not true not everything has a reason for being, some things just exist. Like Burmese pythons in the Everglades destroying the habitat and endangering Florida Panthers because irresponsible morons smuggling them to the U.S. Ooh main diet for possums/opossums another set of animals I don’t care for. Yes it is easy to say it has no place because it’s a bug, sorry I don’t care for the cycle of life for bugs. Things I regularly squash with no qualms.

Burmese pythons also have a purpose?? that’s not their fault that they were smuggled into the US, but it also goes to show just how sensitive these ecosystem webs are since destruction happened where humans introduced them! And I was not specifically talking about “the life cycle for bugs”… I was talking about ECOSYSTEM cycles and webs. which you learn about in detail in like, fourth grade. but I guess you probably got held back that year or something 🤷‍♀️

No i just disregard things that have no value or pertinence to my daily life, if I see a bug somewhere I don’t want it, it dies especially around my home. I have cats and dogs why would I care about ticks that would latch to them and subsequently potentially latch to me. Burmese pythons quite literally have no purpose in the glades keep telling yourself they do. Ticks serve no purpose to humans if possums/opossums feed on them they should find a better diet.
