Funny meme about Lyme disease ticks from @yalesph

This is a meme that uses the 'Fellas, if your girl' format to educate viewers about the characteristics of blacklegged ticks. It lists traits like hanging out on deer and being active in summer, then reveals the subject is a tick, not a person, as a humorous public health warning about Lyme disease.

Narrative framework logic

This framework uses a familiar 'if your X has these traits...' setup to create a specific expectation. It then lists a series of ambiguous traits that secretly describe a different, unexpected subject. The final beat shatters the initial premise and reveals the true subject for a comedic or surprising payoff.
