Re: Ticks and Lyme Disease

Is it possible that some of us have a natural immunity to ticks and if so who and why ? After five Challenges, countless other backpacking trips in Scotland, the Lakes and Wales and lots of orienteering in bracken I've yet to find myself bitten. Not that I'm complaining.
Others seem to be targeted every Challenge.
Is there any science or logic to this ?

Re: Ticks and Lyme Disease

Ticks see infrared. Perhaps you've got less 'radiation' of heat than others ?
