Was it a tick?

Posted on May 4, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I took my cousin who has down-syndrome for a walk today and when we got back, she had this little black bump under her skin. I got suspicious about it being a tick. Her mother took her to the hospital and doctors examined her and said: “it might be an insect, but it not a tick, TAKE HER HOME AND have her take a shower and try to take the insect out yourself!!!!!!!!!” never mind the carelessness of those doctors (with whom I will have a talk tomorrow), we finally were about to take out the insect. It was a light brown, shrimp shaped, insect. The problem is that we missed a little bit of its body and regardless of our effort we couldn’t take it out. Any advice on what it could have been and what we should do? If it the pest had lime disease, would a blood test show it this soon?

how do I heat pre cooked, pre packaged refridgerated shrimp?

Posted on August 3, 2011 by admin| 5 Comments

My boyfriend bought shrimp today that was already steamed and then cooled and packaged at the Grocery store in the refrigerated section of the seafood dept. I am now wondering how to heat and use this shrimp as I have only ever used raw shrimp.
P.S. This shrimp is not frozen. It is packaged like fresh hambuger or chicken would be and is sitting in the fridge. It has simply been steamed already.

Is it possible for a frozen crayfish to return to life?

Posted on July 30, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

I regularly feed my aquatic turtles, mostly red-eared sliders, frozen meals consisting of freshwater shrimp, crayfish (crawdads), and other assorted items. I keep track of anything and everything I release in the tank but today I noticed a crayfish, a decently sized crayfish, wandering about the tank. I know for a fact I have not released any LIVE crayfish into the tank, only frozen, often dismembered, crayfish as food.

My question is, is it possible that one of these frozen crayfish returned to life having survived months in a freezer? I have attempted to find the survivability conditions of crayfish but have not found any information relating to this event.

Any information regarding this question would be appreciated.

Also, I have named the crayfish “Lucky” but the turtles still see him as food.
