> I've spotted tens of times more ticks on me than I've actually been bitten

How many total is that?

Never mind. You convinced me to never go outside, even if you were advocating the opposite.

Bitten? Past 10 years like 15 times or so. Spotted on my clothes or on me easily over 100.

You're kidding, right? I got all those ticks just because I knowingly spent time in specific tick-heavy areas. I could also have chosen to avoid them, and those numbers would be close to zero.
