This is what happens after a really really boring Parasitology lecture. I guess it's funnier when you've been subjected to hours of lectures/videos about the wonders of the cattle tick. It's sort of two injokes rolled into one.

We always joked about the critters we find in Veterinary Parasitology being really scary Pokemon with various horrifying moves, and we came up with them to help us learn.

I don't think anyone thought I'd actually get around to doing it though. Demodex (eyelash mite) is soo next. Followed by some form of tapeworm. :D

I think I'd run away if someone threw even a normal sized cattle tick at me. A giant one would involve lots of flailing.
