    At this point I think I’m immune to ticks. I work outside in the woods often and my coworkers get tons of ticks. I rarely get them maybe once or twice a whole year and they are barely hanging on. My coworkers take a lot more precautions than I do, but still get way more than me. It’s weird.

    Anyway more red meat for me I guess

      Ha same here.

      The first notable occurrence was when I was around 9 and and we were hiking in the woods. My brother and me we both in shorts and t-shirts and running around together. When we got home my mum found a tick on him and after some more searching she removed 14 ticks from my brother. So she called me in immediately after that, but even after stripping me down naked and thoroughly searching I had 0 ticks.

      And that kind of scenario has repeated over and over. Had a BBQ with some friends under a tree. Multiple people reported having ticks the next day. Not me.

      Still haven’t had one … ever.
