Brad of (Brads knives) and I went down to southern indiana this past Friday to do a little tree rat hunting, and all we got was a **** load of ticks.
After about an hour of walking around from spot to spot I nealed at the base of a tree to watch the trees for a min when I noticed about 50-60 micro sized ticks crawling on my left arm. So I brushed them off not thinking much about it. I went back to looking at the trees and just seconds later felt something crawling on my arm again. When I looked down, my left arm was full of them again. WTF.
So after looking around for a min to find where they were coming from, I noticed that they were all over my paints. And everytime I rested my arm on my legg, they would crawl on to my arm. At this point I'm kind of in shock because I have never seen anything like this before. Let alone on me. I've never had more then two on me ever at the same time.
I stripped and changed clothes, brushing all I could see off, I thought I was ok. After I got home that afternoon, and showered, scrubbing a few more off in the shower, my girlfriend and I, found 42 more of them bedded on my legs and had to slowly pull them off one by one. Now I feel like I have chickenpocks again. Little red bumps all over my legs that itch like crazy.
Anyone else had any like incidents? Seen any crazy amounts of tics? I have never even herd of such an encounter.
