@ThatNgonGuy@AgretaMendieta "but that's not why they are taught to avoid them.' That's what I was taught. It doesn't matter anymore I just figured every post is baiting ngon argument so I gave you the source, I am antiquated 🤷♂️
@Mamiekshoore@ClippingWings He literally came out with a statement saying he's ok with Charlie disagreeing respectfully and the entire left wing commentary community is now coming after Charlie for not being on their side. You people really this retarded?
Well, I am back in the hospital.
The 15 days of antibiotics didn't work. Left leg and arm are numb constantly. Chest pains, Head ache, dizziness and very tired still.
Most likely need more or a different antibiotic. I really hope they can fix this before it gets worse.
Please people, take a tick bite seriously. Yes I see many saying "I get 20 ticks a year and no issues"... it just takes one with Lyme to cause seriously and potentially life changing issues.
@MichaelTheCoe@Huuuuuuuuuns@blacksquad_22@grok 100% but that won't matter. It won't go away. You know I've seen the SAME EXACT backlash towards Photoshop for years? This is the way things will be. Use A.I and skills in photography + Photoshop to do some interesting stuff. You might even have some fun 🤷♂️
@MichaelTheCoe@Huuuuuuuuuns@blacksquad_22@grok It really doesn't I'm sorry. I owned a DSLR and took photography to get an easy credit in college. Easiest A I ever got. It was fun and enjoyable but to call it a skill is pretty laughable. Oh wow you can change exposure and f stops, so hard.
@Huuuuuuuuuns@MichaelTheCoe@blacksquad_22@grok I hate AI and wish they'd pull the plug but I'm not gonna act like it can't produce amazing art because it hurts people's feelings. I spent over a decade honing skills in Photoshop to have most of it be replaced by a click even before A.I. This is the reality of tech
With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.
“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”
