Ticks also get attached to humans in tall grass and forest edges, not from the trees. Walking through open fields is a more likely way to get a tick than walking through the woods, because that is where the deer sleep. They bed down in tall grass, and the ticks come along for the ride. So be wary of the grass, not the woods. As a matter of fact, the best thing you can do to keep ticks away from your home if you live out in the country is to keep 8-10 feet of grass cut really short at the perimeter of your property or wherever it meets the woods.
Young deer often walk towards people, too. They aren't born afraid of humans, and have natural instincts to freeze, not flee. So when their mama hides them, it is just as likely to be near humans, not in the woods with the coyotes. They'll learn the fear soon enough (definitely during hunting season), but until then they certainly have youthful curiosity.
Even so, "sign me up" is still a good answer. Home testing sounds great.
In the trees they drop down on you from above. Had them do that many times.
The general consensus is to wear a hat when mushrooming in the places I've been.
They have thermal sensors on their forearms and are known to climb trees. Why wouldn't they approach from above?
If you're going to disagree with basic textbook biology knowledge, the burden of proof is on you.
Still feeling cool, suave, experienced, and fearless?
But you can probably tell that there is no need to be snarky. Just your first sentence would have been more in line with how people engage with each other around here.
I have at least one serious regret about trusting someone on the internet saying something incorrect confidently.
No need to be rude, though!
They're much, much smaller. The size of a poppy seed.
