Tick Warning - The Firearms Forum

TICK WARNING!

I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it
myself a couple times unintentionally but this one is real, and it's
important.

Please send this warning to everyone on your e- mail list.

If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks
due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance
around with your arms up,

DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!!
They only want to see you naked.

I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid.

That is BOGUS?
Good grief, I have gone through this check FOUR TIMES!!
I wondered why the gal brought three friends, a jug of booze, and lawn chairs.
It just seemed sort of unprofessional, you know?

I tried it on the wife and it worked out in my favor, who knew.

What a great idea. I gotta go get an official "tick inspector" tee shirt. I got calls to make.

Hmm, methinks I'll go for the official 'Tick Inspector' badge, with faux leather carrying case, along with the official 'Tick Inspector' evidence camera! LOL!

Don't forget the de-ticking tool.

Gn is out tick inspecting.

I've been picking ticks off of me for a week now. I'd gladly get naked and dance around as long as somebody actually gets them off.

lnxpilot, welcome to TFF, you will like it here. Only 2 ticks yesterday but got a mess of chiggers bushhogging. Due to the advanced state of decrepitude of my antique physique, it would be cruel and unusual punishment (outlawed by the US Constitution which still applys to the people if not to it's missleaders) to inflict that view on a tick inspector.
