  1. Mom taught me if you go thrifting you carry alcohol and spray the clothes in a bag with it and then tie the bag so if there is any bugs they die due to the alcohol but is best to leave it in the car for like.

  2. Had this happen to me without realizing it. Was down at the Arkansas Missouri border at a airbnb an was walking a creek bed. Eventually when i looked down there were HUNDREDS OF THEM. I immediately hopped in the shower to burn em off but unfortunately it was already too late. Ended up with welts all up my legs to my asscheeks. Best part is it takes about a month for them to even start to stop itching and burning. Be careful y'all.

  3. "Travel up their body."?? Ticks climb high into vegetation, they sense your body heat as you stand under them & just drop into your hair. They also attach to you if you brush past the vegetation; should you be taller than the plant they are on.
    Seed ticks are light enough to travel long distances in the wind.
    For 30+ years, our garden used to be full of them. ~Feb (late summer) the seed ticks. May (juveniles) , sep-oct (adults).
    Likely the northern hemisphere is 6 months delayed.

  4. Took my wife and three dogs out one day and encountered a tic bomb… holy shit… got the dogs blood tested afterwards, they all now have lime disease… not a pleasant experience.

  5. I once sat on a sleeping bag in the woods
    When i packed it i pressed it against my white shirt
    After that i saw all these little dots all over my shirt hundrets of them but so small i didnt see wat it was till i looked closer
    After that i was standing in boxershorts in the wood and removed over a hundret of them that got on my body for about an hour
    And still had about 10 left i found at home when looking again

  6. A few months ago I went camping and my dog’s legs got absolutely COVERED in seed ticks. We bathed him and tried to pull them off, but we ended up buying tic medicine and every single one was dead the next morning

  7. Ticks deserve nothing but death. We need more opossums which eat up to 5000 ticks per year and are immune to lime disease.

    So if you see a possum let it be… they're extremely beneficial in maintaining rodent populations as well as ticks.

  8. This happened to me 5 years ago. I thought I had gotten them off. The next day my wife picked 15 more of these bad boys off of me. It’s nearly impossible to find them all. Long story short, I ended up on antibiotics. So yes, get naked, burn your clothes, and shave your body. Even then, you’ll still probably miss a few. 😳
