I've picked so many ticks this week, the old tick twister has never been so busy!

I flicked off the highest number I've ever recorded last week. 25. Fortunately none had bitten, I'd just been through a damp grassy area and thought it best to check!

I pick some up every time I'm out!

I was lying down trying to untangle ropes near Loch Lomond last year in a tick infested area.

Removed a number that evening, including 6 from my groin area 🙁

mrs file gets quite freaked out by them, but i'm the one who seems to get covered in them

Our cats have had them this year for the first time. Reckon there must have been a population explosion.

What eats ticks? (That thought makes me feel slightly sick)

tang where was this? I'm convinced I was bitten last August as I've been utterly shagged every since. Really bad over the last week too. I literally struggle to walk around.

Not lying in long wet grass admittedly, but I've done my share of mountain biking all over the place!
