Monty by Jim Meddick for July 28, 2022

Our new little kitty had a botfly larva growing in her neck. Not fun. Gone now. At least they don’t leave permanent damage the way lyme ticks can.

A friend caught Lyme disease and almost died. It was horrible. Don’t fool around with it if you think you have. Prompt treatment is critical.

Don’t take it lyming down

Poor Jarvis. “Drop your briefs and spread your legs, Sir.”

“Jarvis! Do something! Fast! Time is TICKing!”

Luna tick

I lived in Danbury for about 10 years. Ridgefield was just down the road. High class town that doesn’t even allow store signs with any color in them.

Does Jarvis remember somewhere else he needs to be or does the thought of match heated tweezers suggest a perverse interlude of amusement? Tune in tomorrow to see ‘As The Worm Turns’.

Too bad Sedgwick, you have attracted the lowly lyme tick, a low class tick for a low class kid.

The worst one is the TX tick that causes allergies to BEEF! And I have read numerous stories of people who had Lyme but the doctors said they didn’t!!

How do you know they are lyme ticks?

They’re all green.

Wait a second were you eating a bag of skittles in your bunk, and you discarded the green ones because you hate that flavour?

Yeah, Why?

I don’t think you have ticks, i think you have skittle pox.

Fear not, Sedgwick. Lyme Disease is spread by deer ticks. There’s no such thing as a Lyme tick. But then Jim Meddick would have to find something new for the next installment.

I got Lime Disease. Now I can’t even look at green Jello, without nausea.

Honestly, I’ve had the dammn stuff 3 times, and I buy DEET by the case.

Deer syphilis.

More doses of reality for little Sedgie.

Removing those buggers, if they actually are ticks, will be painful.

My D-I-L has alpha-gal and realized she can eat beef if it is strictly grass fed with no hormones or steroids, she is also able to eat lamb, venison, pork, etc.

UH-oh!

“And bring me a clean pair of tighty whities while you’re at it!” Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!! :)

Ticks Happen !! Check Yourself !

Yes a common threat at summer camp and summer activities with the scouts, were the f**king ticks!

I’m from East Lyme. Our ticks are very upscale. (Yes, I’ve had Lyme disease 3 times)

Dum da dum DUM!

(Do you hear ominous drum rolls?)

Is little Sedgie going to come down with Lyme Disease? Some might take guilty pleasure in his misfortune (Schadenfreude), but I trust Jarvis to deal with this intense situation.

(And please do so quickly, Jarvis, because I don’t think I’ll survive another day of seeing Sedgwick in his tighty-whities….)

Let us not bug Ridgefield. They had quite a battle there in 1777, after the British burned Danbury.

Lyme patient here. Lyme is not a joke. Also yes, @NeedaChuckle there are cases where the doctors said it was not Lyme…but that is a whole ’nother story.

Where does Jim live? The Greenwich reference is a fairly obvious one, but Ridgefield? Less so.Why not Wilton, or “Darien on the derriere”?

I think Jarvis sees the opportunity to ruin the little snot’s whole experience. I say there’s nothing back there at all.
