  • Do you know?

  • My tics are so hard to get rid of ticks.

  • Don't actively seek you out and they can't jump there, Sit and wait, predators.

  • Their arms have sticky pads which can get stuck to clothing or other animals.

  • When a tick crawls on you, it sneaks into a concealed crevice like an armpit to hook like structures tear into your flesh.

  • Then they insert a straw like piece of barbed wire, making them hard to remove.

  • Plus their saliva has pain numbing properties so you don't notice them.

  • If you're hiking in a wooded area, you should wear light clothes and bug spray tuck pants in socks and do a tick check after.
