they are one of the only inverts that make me shudder. I got bitten two years ago and had to be treated for Lyme. I was bitten 20 years or so before that too. Wasn't treated because no one knew to where I lived (pre internet)
Alas, I think there's more years of research needed before we know how to un-stick a tick. But these molecules could be very useful in surgical adhesives
That was my very first thought... right after "Eeew!"
Could be tremendously valuable, though, if the material can be well replicated and manipulated for strength, bond-time, and work in the much wetter surgical environment.
