Any good uses for ticks? (the Missouri variety)

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

Spring is here and so are the ticks!!! I was just wondering if anyone has found any creative uses for these critters? They are one of Missouri's abundant natural resource's. It would be a shame if we couldn't find a good use for them . I was thinking Tick necklaces?? Doug....

They can tap out a pretty good beat when placed on the wood heater.

Earrings. You wouldn't even need to have pierced ears. Just stick one on each earlobe, and they'll stay there for the longest time! :-)

Yeah, and if you don't like the size, just wait a while and they will get bigger!

if you find a good use for them --I have a ton I'll send you!! Here in NC we have all sizes --and a couple of different colors that range from greenish/gray to brownish/red!

Harvest when ripe, place on canvas, aggressively stomp...sorta a Jackson Pollack kinda thing, but earthier.

hmmm... perhaps .. if you can figure out how to do something with them like hot lix, the sucker company that makes the worm lollies and all... of course they coul;d be used as small scale leeches... hmmm.... thinking here.... how about , i know, wild guinea food :) thats where all our ticks are going!

Hey Doug...when my kids used to find them after they had swollen up and fallen off the dog, they would have a contest to see who could squirt the blood inside the farthest....I really need to get the kids some toys or something...LOL! The only good tick is a dead tick, as far as I'm concerned! Harmony
