💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🚫🪲 Flushing a tick down the toilet doesn’t kill it – their tough chitin exoskeleton lets them survive the #water and potentially even crawl back out.

#Cornell entomologist Brian Lovett explains that #ticks are impervious tanks and that flushing them means throwing away valuable #data that could help scientists track tick-borne #diseases. Better options include crushing them, submerging in rubbing #alcohol, or trapping them in a container and sending them to a lab for testing.
