Extra special thank you to Dr. Dania Richter for her time and for her patience in helping me understand the remarkable life cycle of the Ixodes ticks. Dr. Richter led me to the remarkable documentary that is featured throughout this episode.

Very happy to have a sponsor like Curiosity Stream. I'm a fan, and I like the price. Check them out and sign up at curiositystream.com/zefrank code: zefrank :)

"This is what toilet paper looks like in hell. Now a word from our sponsor." That is some bold ad placement.
-
Zefrank was definitely told by someone that when he says “tick” it sounds like “dick” and instantly knew what video he wanted to make next.
-
So much fun learning about hard and soft đicks. Thank you Zefrank :)
-
My mother & I have a twisted habit of exploiting one-another’s weaknesses in a cruel but lighthearted bit of family friendly sadism. Her weakness is hair in food, second only to ticks… i just.. i just don’t think I can thank you enough for this absolute gift. She has no idea what’s coming.
-
He's not even saying ticks, all I can hear is the "D" and the innuendos are amazing
-
remember guys, there’s only 2 types of “D”ticks. soft “D”ticks and hard “D”ticks
-
Bro knew EXACTLY what he was doing 💀
-
As a guy with a Biology degree and at least 20 tick bites under his belt, this is the best worst thing I've ever seen. Thank you for a wonderful Thanksgiving 💛
-
I honestly think he’s saying “dicks” the whole time and we just think it’s “ticks” because that’s what he wants us to think
-
“As is the custom” better be a running joke now
-
Absolutely brilliant. From the ambiguous accent to demeaning the editor in voiceover, this was extremely well presented. Thank you.
-
A teacher of mine showed us this video the day after a field trip to show us some stuff about ticks, glad he chose this one in particular
-
I love how Jerry hasn't been fired yet, after years of fucking everything up
-
"What a nice video to watch over lunch" - me 10 minutes before skipping lunch
-
So I'm currently doing a dog grooming course at college and we have to know about parasite life cycles for the theory exam. This is easily the best (and funniest) way to revise
-
This man is a jewel! I honestly hope some nature documentary hires him as narrator. I'd watch the crap outta that. Don't forget Jerry, the silent, but comic foil. Gotta have him along on all auditions.

Dad once thought it would be funny to catch the hedgehog that wandered through the garden, and since wild animals are usually full of parasites, sure enough he caught a tick. That wouldn't be such a problem on its own, if only it didn't turn green. Grandma (from mom's side) was a doctor and urged him to get tested for Lyme, and sent the dead tick for testing as well. Dad was fine, fortunately, and it turns out that the reason the tick turned green and died was due to severe alcohol poisoning.

This video just made me feel like one of these lil buggers was crawling on me the whole time lmaoo

This organism makes me reconsider how i feel about extinctions
