Went fishing with a buddy in the South. We were dressed to protect ourselves, and I was so paranoid with ticks, I even secured the opening to my boots and pants. Definitely saw them crawling. A bunch of shirtless hicks came up to us and asked us where our fishing spot was so they can try. I told them about the ticks, and they just shrugged and repeated the question.
I think about that a lot.
