Once when I was young, I had a few chigger bites on my sac. red, swollen, itchy as hell. Had to walk around with calamine lotion for a week or so. that sucked.

Funny story about chiggers:
I went backpacking for a week and a half in Florida (where im from), got chiggers pretty good. We found a spring near a river that had 1000's of minnows swimming around. We got in just to cool off, and the minnows started biting the chiggers when we sat in the water. No BS. So me and some friends all sat still in the spring and had hundreds of minnows biting (scratching) these itches. Holy shit it felt soooooo damn good. Only people who had chiggers can know how good it feels to get so many bites itched at the same time.....
I got into some shit when I was a kid. Then there was the time I got bit by a poisonous snake. Ohh ya, the scorpion bite....

Was your dad Steve Irwin or something?

I got one there once, too. I dug it out with tweezers (hurt like crazy), sterilized the area with tons of rubbing alcohol and neosporin, and then called my doctor. It was SO gross to see the little legs wiggling around, sticking out of me. They asked me to bring in the tick (killed in alcohol), and to get a lyme disease shot just to be on the safe side. It was embarrassing to tell the advice nurse about it, though. "He was in my scrotum."

you're going to get lyme disease or elephantitis, take your pick.

Elephantitis? Oh no! If things in that area start enlarging, run to the nearest emergency room. Hey, have you seen the babe thread over in L&R?

So they just stabbed your balls w/ a needle and injected fluid into your scrotum?

Mine seemed kinda dead when I found it. No wriggling or anything. It looked like a scab or something.

So this morning (about an hour ago, I'm on spring break), I get into the shower and - lo and behold - there's a weird black thing on my sack. I start freaking out like it's the head of a tumor or something, so I peel it off and it's a fucking tick! The little bastards really do go everywhere! Right now he's inside my shower drain (he seemed pretty dead when I pulled him off).

Haha, you're a bit short on the ball juice, eh?

I don't think he got the juice he wanted...

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Im TICKED OFF.

 

[destrekor]

Can anyone answer this question?

I've read in quite a few places, that removal of a tick within a day of it attaching, essentially makes the chance of catching Lyme Disease null. How is that? Does a tick not start feeding till it's been attached for a day? How doesn't the bacteria get into the bloodstream right away if it begins feeding immediately upon attachment? Just curious, because with an interest in going hiking this summer, I'm going to be super paranoid about ticks. Hate the thought of the bastards.

It's been so long for me I'd welcome some tick action.

chicks with ticks.

I once had a hornet sting me in my sack.

that was back in 2000. stupid thing made its way up my gym shorts and when I tried to remove it, he got me.

A tick is nothing compared to getting stung there. It was like getting hit with a hammer. I was rolling on the floor grabbing my balls and whimpering. It swelled up and was sore for about 2 hours.

so there.

 

[Amused]

I had that happen once, picked it up mountain biking when I stopped to pee.

It was a little disconcerting, but no big deal. Just hope when you pulled him out that you didn't leave the head inside.

I nominate this for thread of the month.

 

[bleeb]

you might want to hit up the doctor to make sure your junk doesn't get infected with lyme disease leading to possible infertility or even death. take your pick.

Tell you SO to check his beard. They may be hiding in there.

I have a funny story related to this.

A buddy of mine (let's call him Jack Schwartz) went to the Naval Academy which involved a large number of activities including various training in areas where ticks are plenty. It was routine for everyone to take time to check for ticks after training exercises. Well, after one of these exercises, my friend went to the head and started checking himself for ticks. He was alone at the time. After being satisfied that he had no ticks in any visible area, the thought crossed his mind that maybe one managed to get somewhere in the general area between his sack and ass crack. He decided that the best way to check was to get on the counter which had the usual sinks and mirror, drop his pants, turn around, and bend over to look between his legs at the mirror. Well, just as he bent over, one of his commanding officers stepped in and immediately yelled, "SCHWARTZ! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?!?" Jack then snapped into Attention as quickly as he could while standing on the counter and naked from the waist down as he replied, "SIR! CHECKING FOR TICKS SIR!". His officer then replied, "I see....carry on" and then walked out.
