10-20 per year. I hunt/forage a lot. Usually only 1-5 that are attached, though. I can feel them frickers crawling up my legs.

Haven't had a tick in a very long time. When I was young and used to wander my grandparents undeveloped property I would get them all the time.

One or two personally. However, I have realized that I love my husband very much when I pick ticks off of him, way too many over 25+ years to count.

Yep
I got in some leaches once diving in Lake Guntersville.
I didn't know they were on me until I was climbing into my boat. Five of them.
That some stomach queasy stuff, apparently harmless though?

Waaaay too many to count. I've probably had 5 - 10 so far this summer. They either get me directly or hit h hike on a dog then crawl on me inside.
Live on a wooded 20 acres. I keep around the house sprayed but when I go fish or in/around the woods they get me.

I have had several but only had one that permanently damaged the skin. Was the smallest little sucker too. At first thought it was a spec of dirt stuck to my leg hair.

A relative of mine has alpha-gal syndrome caused by a tick bite.

I don’t remember ever having any ticks. Now chiggers- that’s another story. When I was younger those damn things loved me. Miserable experience when you get a bunch of those.

None because I live in a house

9 attached ticks in my life time. Almost 40.

Damn, I should have counted and taken notes. I never knew I would be tested on this subject.

You just pull it off. It ain't a big deal. If you are mad at the tick, just crush the head and leave the rest alone.
