              I’ve only ever had one tick successfully latch on to me, but they terrify me. I couldn’t even imagine 250.

                They were just nymphs, like the size of a pinhead. Walking through a grassy paddock. Managed to get 150 off my front and went to bed with 100 on my back. Daughter got them off the next day.

                28 is the most adult paralysis ticks I’ve had.

                The beauty of working in the bush.

                  I spend my life indoors in front of a desk and suddenly I’m regretting that less.

          I’m sorry, I shouldn’t laugh at your expense… But the image of Grampa Simpson acting like giant tick magnet is entertaining
