Static electricity might help ticks zoom through the air to grab onto people and animals. A study published Friday found that the static charges we pick up from the environment may be giving the hungry parasites a boost to their next meal.
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.
