never had a tick on me but i always check when i get outta the woods
i've gotten eaten alive before. pulled off over 150 one weekend while turkey hunting. most were tiny seed ticks, looked like tiny dark freckles. fuck a bunch of ticks, buy Permanone! active ingredient, permethrin, was developed for US military. they would spray a square yard of cloth with it & drop a tick in the middle. they never make it off alive. i've found dead ones on my socks before that died as they started their climb.
