re: How many ticks have you had in your life?

I went nearly 30 years without having one that I can think of. Got them all the time as a kid when we lived in the country and had dogs. I’ve had 10+ in the past 2 years. We got a dog Christmas of 2023.
ETA: after some thought I’ve probably had 10 just in 2026. Pulled one off my leg Sunday.

Pulled one off my husband after we rolled around in the woods in our late teens.

Ticks are an issue in South Louisiana?
Posted on 5/21/26 at 3:47 pm to Billy Blanks
None attached but maybe 5 over time crawling on clothes.

It blows my mind there are people on here who have never had a tick

If seed tickets and redbugs (chiggers) count, then hundreds. I lived in the woods growing up and never thought twice about any tick caused illnesses.

when I was a kid it seemed like ticks and red bugs generally refused to cross the Arkansas state line into Louisiana

I’ve had ticks before. Last time was two years ago I had two, one on my hip and one on my leg. It was probably 20 years before that last time I had that which is odd because i definitely spent time in the woods.
I spent a few days in the woods that were so tick infested they control burnt that forest and in survived without getting any

Hundreds of the little bastards. I’m a forester. They seem to like my yard too.

Lived outside as a kid and never had one tick on me. We occasionally saw a wood tick or two on our pets but that was it.
Now there are deer ticks everywhere. Have had probably 5 on me in the last 20 years, that I know of.

The average heart beats about 35 million times per year, so more than two billion.

Probably at least seven to thirty-two times as many as you’ve been bitten by a mosquito. You need to get out more often to toughen up. You sound like a pussy for asking such a question.
