Last week found a fucking tick crawling up my leg. Thankfully it wasn’t attached. I grabbed the kitchen washcloth and grabbed it off myself .I put it on the counter and killed it with the fire of a torch lighter. But I also burnt a hole in my wet washcloth. I was just glad the fucker was crispyfied and dead.
