YouTuber Rusty Cage goes viral after testing how long a Lone Star tick can survive
Popular YouTuber Rusty Cage recently became the owner of popularity due to a video series in which he filmed a Lone Star tick that he picked up on himself. Rather than getting rid of the tiny parasite, Cage decided to hold onto it and check how long it will survive. For two weeks and several days, Cage used various tricks in order to understand whether the tick can live. Unusual research gained wide popularity, with Instagram users actively discussing its results.
Rusty Cage's Lone Star tick experiment surprises millions online
American YouTube star, singer and comic book author Rusty Cage is popular for producing some unique content. Now, he shocked his followers by performing a real-life test using Lone Star tick.
The Lone Star tick is a parasitic creature that lives on the blood of humans and animals. Finding the parasite attached to his skin, Cage got interested in its toughness. Rather than removing the creature immediately, Cage put it inside a box and started filming daily videos of it.
The first challenge was simple. Cage put the tick in a glass of water to see if it would drown. Even after five days underwater, the tick was still moving around. By the end of the week, it looked like the tick had died, but after Cage gently touched it, the tiny creature started moving again.
He also noticed that small fibers had become stuck around the tick, making it difficult for the parasite to move. After removing them, the tick became active once more, surprising both the creator and his viewers.

As the days went by, Cage tried even stranger experiments. On the ninth day, he decided to test whether loud music would affect the tick.
While joking with viewers, he said that people often claim Mozart's music can help babies become smarter. Using that idea as a joke, he wondered if playing the complete opposite kind of music might somehow damage the tick's mind.
