[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember that ticks don’t just crawl up your legs from the ground - they’re often in the shrubs and trees as they ride around on birds and small mammals. So they can drop onto you from vegetation as you brush against it hiking through the woods. Daily tick checks are imperative after outdoor activities. Or an immediate shower to wash off any that haven’t yet attached. [/quote] I thought this has been debunked? Cite?[/quote] No dropping from trees. https://www.consumerreports.org/outdoor-safety/tick-myths-debunked/[/quote] They don't drop from overhanging branches onto you, but they certainly can and do hang out on branches higher than grass. If you brush up against a low hanging branch, they can transfer to you. It takes physical contact between you and the branch, but it does happen.[/quote]
