Two legs good, eight legs bad.

Nice Orwell reference

We don't have dangerous spiders here. But the animal I can't stand and groses me out are tics.



I don't mind pulling them out of my dog so much, but I'd freak if I was bitten.
It's really the only animal I find really disgusting. I've hold snakes and tarantulas in my hands and work with wild animals at the wildlife rescue center. But I hate ticks, hate them with a passion.

Yeah, ticks are probably the most dangerous creatures you can find in the wild over here. I've removed many of them, both from pets and humans. For some reason they rarely attach themselves to me. Get them early enough and you're okay, sometimes I fear though that a small one will clamp itself on my head beneath the hair and stay hidden until I'm infected - and the hair will cause the usual red circles to go unnoticed.
