So on Sunday, I made a thread about my horrifying tick experience. Here’s the thread if you didn’t see it but tldr I went on a walk and ended up finding 20+ ticks on me after.

It’s been 5 days and I thought it was over. Didn’t see any more ticks. None embedded themselves into me that I saw which I appreciated. I went to exactly 2 places since, the library and the grocery store, both which are not exactly grassy. Even walking through the parking lots I didn’t cross into vegetation at all. And then today, I saw another deer tick crawling up my leg. 5 days later. No contact with vegetation. It’s over. I don’t think there’s any measures that I can take except to burn everything. I just can’t escape these horrid creatures :catcry:

Maybe from an animal like a cat or dog you own and come in contact with? Or maybe it came from inside your car like survivors of that time you had 20+ ticks?
It’s not impossible, my dog especially gets a lot of ticks. But it would be a bit unusual because usually the ticks would go for her and bite her, rather than trying to switch over to someone else. She is vaccinated for Lyme disease btw. As for the car, it was actually someone else who drove, so it wasn’t the same as the car I’ve been using.

Then the only logical explanation would be your dog then. Or maybe even your shoes. Ticks can linger a long time too and keep looking till they are satisfied with the host and then bite. Either way ticks suck and are so useless they are literally just bird food...

I was thinking shoes too. I’ve chucked them into the garage for now, and if I need to go out I’ll use my slides instead. Itll be easier to see ticks on them than on my sneakers, and I don’t plan to go in areas with long grass and vegetation at the moment so they should be okay.
