Is there a count-up of this year's ticks as well??

Not enough fingers to count them, I suspect!

Maybe motivation for a change of route to a higher windier place.
It's the ticks that are a bigger issue.
Let's hope the treatment I put over my clothing has an effect

I understand fox faeces work a treat...

I'd imagine it works also well for repelling any human kind and attracting all the village dogs!
