How to make tick stuffing. Whether to put them in the regular turkey stuffing, or perhaps - a more creative angle - to stuff them with useful ingredients like antibiotics or vitamins, etc, so when they bite us, we can get more of what we need.
Anyone have any good tick stuffing recipes to recommend?

Hm - is feather ticking talked about much anywhere?
I recall a Gilbert and Sullivan patter song that features it - it's a song whose lyrics are not so far removed from our insomniac nights -
When you're lying awake with a dismal headache And repose is tabooed by anxiety, I conceive you may use any language you choose To indulge in without impropriety.
For your head is on fire, your bedclothes conspire Of usual slumber to plunder you. First your counterpane goes and uncovers your toes And your sheet slips demurely from under you.
Your blanketing tickles, you feel like mixed pickles, So terribly sharp is the pricking, And you're hot and you're cross and you tumble and toss Till there's nothing twixt you and the ticking!

John Denver! Grandma's Feather Bed
Chorus: It was nine feet high and six feet wide Soft as a downy chick It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick It'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs And a piggy we stole from the shed We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun On Grandma's feather bed
Makes me think of all his appearances on The Muppet Show!
