I'm trying to write a post about tick safety and avoiding tick bites, but a lot of the info on websites is like "Avoid going in the woods, in plants, and where there are wild animals" and "Activities like hiking and gardening can put you at risk" and I'm like thanks! This is worthless!
As ticks and tick borne illnesses are expanding their range, I think it's important for people to be educated about these things, and I think it's especially important to give people actual advice on how to protect themselves instead of telling them to just...avoid the natural world
Rough draft version of Tick Advice:
Ticks don't jump down on you from trees, they get on you when you brush against grass, brush, bushes etc.
Ticks get brought to an area when they get done feeding from an animal and fall off them. In the USA, the main tick-bringing animal is deer, but I've seen plenty ticks on feral cats and songbirds.
Ticks get killed when they dry out so drier areas with more sunlight are less favorable to ticks.
The above is useful for figuring out whether an area is likely to have lots of ticks, and how vigilant you have to be in that area.
Wear light-colored, long pants outside. Tuck your pants into your socks, and tuck your shirt into the waist of your pants. Invest in light, breathable fabrics idc
IMMEDIATELY change out of your outside clothes when you come back from a tick-prone area, wash them, and dry them on high heat to kill any ticks that might be stuck on.
Shower and check yourself for ticks after coming inside. Hair, armpits, and nether regions in particular. You can use a handheld mirror or rely on touch; an attached tick will feel like a bump kinda like a scab
While you're outside, you can just periodically check for ticks by running your hands down your legs and checking visually to see if anything is crawling on your clothes. Light colors make them easy to spot, and they don't move fast.
Combing through each others' hair to check for creepy crawly critters is a time-honored primate ritual and is not weird. When hiking, bring a friend who will have your back when you feel something on your neck and need to know if it's sweat or a tick
If you're careful, you can usually catch ticks before they bite you, but if one does bite you, it's not the end of the world. Since tickborne diseases are different regionally i suspect this advice will differ based on where you are, but the important thing is remove the tick with tweezers (DON'T use butter, a lit match, or anything that kills the tick while it's still attached, please) and contact a doctor to see what to watch for. Most illnesses you can catch from ticks are easily treatable if you recognize them when symptoms first appear

we are getting even closer to the current TRUE lore….
The horror begins. Dr. Pyranine’s serum is distributed through the city via various means. The citizens who go through the commodification process don’t know its happening, and any ill effects are brushed off. The commodification process changes your physically and behaviorally. But if you do not keep consuming the substance regularly, you begin to deteriorate, almost literally melting away and becoming a voracious creature of goop, bone, and sinew. These creatures will eat almost anything, primarily garbage and materials as that’s what they are able to access. Some of them take on the materials they consume… Including, well, other people. You no longer are a destructive senseless creature-at least appearance wise.
This is also when I figured out the title BUSINESS ANIMALS!!

ID: A redrawing of the "out here living my best life" meme. The fake instagram username reads, "hotdoglover69," with a photo post captioned, "Out here living my best life." In all three photos, we see Sans from undertale doing fun summer activities like drinking out of a coconut, making a peace sign at the camera, and floating on an inflatable duck while wearing pink flamingo sunglasses. In the background, we see Reigen Arataka from Mob Psycho 100 struggling in an open pool. A comment on the post from Kageyama Shigeo reads, "Reigen is drowning." Hotdoglover69 replies, "This ain't about him." End ID
I made this instead of sleeping

reigen arataka, greatest psychic of the 21st century, esteemed internet sex symbol. crowned twink supreme by winning 69% of the votes on anitwt, crowned ultimate dilf days later, and current lead for the anitwt milf off by a landslide. most recently, though, has just lost the poll for the title of ultimate tumblr sexyman to sans undertale by 0.1% of 244,809 votes total - culminating responses from the official japanese and english mp100 twitters, various industry professionals, and a fanfic from toby fox himself.
all of this within the span of six fucking days
