What to do for tick under skin of human?
If the tick has parts of its body burrowed under the skin, the best way to remove it would be to carefully hold a lit match up to the site of the tick. Most likely it will remove itself, for ticks are very sensitive to heat.
The answer above is incorrect. Irritating the tick is not beneficial. Simply pull the tick off. Ticks actually "glue" themselves onto you. A gentle tug will work.
Irritating a tick will only makes it regurgitate its body fluid (which is where the disease is). And don't be so worried about not getting the head off. The worse scenario is that a local infection will develop. The actual disease (ie Rocky Mt spotted fever or Lyme disease) is in the fluid in the body.

When was new madrids last major earthquake?
Earthquakes occur in the New Madrid seismic zone every day. Most of them are so small (magnitudes 0, 1, 2...) that they can't be felt, only recorded by an instrument. The faults in the New Madrid seismic zone are active, producing these small events all the time. If you mean Madrid, Spain, you can do an earthquake search by googling "international seismological centre".

What household chemicals can kill ticks?

At what stage does a deer tick get lymes?
Lyme disease is caused by a group of spirochete bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Ticks can get infected by these pathogens while sucking blood on an infected vertebrate. As ticks (well, not all ticks, but the ones that carry Lyme disease) feed at every stage of their lives on a different host, they can get infected at every stage.
Some pathogens can circulate transovarially (i.e. an infected female tick's eggs are already infected), but that's not the case with Lyme disease.
So basically a larva ('first stage tick') can't be infected until it has fed.
Of course the chance of a tick getting infected while feeding on an infected host is not 100%.
It's important to know, that if a tick once get infected with Lyme disease, it stays infected all it's life.
Plus there's a small chance that a tick can get infected on an uninfected host by 'co-feeding'. That means that a tick basically sucks up the saliva (and also the spirochetes in it) of another tick that's eating nearby.
So, the short answer to your question is: ticks can get Lyme disease at every stage.
What is one disadvantage of a tick list?
One disadvantage of a tick list is that it can promote a superficial understanding of tasks or concepts, as it encourages a focus on merely checking items off rather than engaging deeply with the content. This can lead to a lack of critical thinking and reflection, as individuals may prioritize completion over quality. Additionally, tick lists can create a false sense of accomplishment, potentially leading to complacency.

Ticks have 8 legs & cannot fly. A deer ked has 6 legs & a pair of wings which it sheds after landing on a possible host. For this reason, deer Keds (member of fly family) is mistaken for deer ticks.
If a spider crawls up your nose into your sinisus and bites you can it kill you?
