    Ticks were never an issue where I live until a few yrs ago, and then when I started seeing comments about people needing to check their cracks on reddit, I thought it was a joke. Big surprise to me when my partner said we needed to check ALL our creases.

      I pretty much thought they were an American/continental Europe/Asia thing, I hadn’t really heard of them being a risk in the UK prior to seeing it on my GF. I only thought they were a risk in areas with high deer populations, which I don’t exactly have in my back garden.
