[QUOTE="Whisp, post: 382345, member: 9598"] Ticks are waiting for a warm blooded body to pass close by and drop onto it (this is called hosting) and then they generally go for a warm and/or moist spot on the body. I did the Mt. Bushwalker track here on the South Coast a few years ago and coming back through the scrub several paralysis ticks dropped onto me and made their way to warmth and moistness, midnight that night I was in emergency having them removed and once gone, recovery was very quick. Nasty little critters. [url]https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/mount-bushwalker-walking-track[/url] [/QUOTE]
