I reached out and grabbed a blasting cap, slit it open with my pocketknife and poured the powder out in my hand. Then I carefully daubed the powder on my head and with a hand shaking from rapid-onset chronic axonal polyneuropathy, I set it ablaze with my Zippo. That's when I lost consciousness. I woke yesterday in the ICU and the doctor said I am lucky to be alive. I blew a chunk about the size of a golf-ball out of my skull and nearly died from blood loss.
Funny thing is, the tick survived, since the chunk was blown off relatively intact.
