Your experience with tics is truly horrific. I've been in the woods a lot and I've only had a few issues. Perhaps I've been lucky...I understand they can leave you ill with diseases...I do take some precautions, tick proof clothing, thick, knee boot socks with boots, organic tic spray and I try to clear the areas I've camped in..I haven't camped in a while but because it's just not safe anymore, too many nuts about..as a substitute I bivouac in the back yard and it's ok. It's a little lame but I was in the back yard learning some things and realized hey this feels amazing, because I wasnt on edge watching out of the corner of my eye for a bear or a serial killer...that's the unfortunate shit you have to consider when going out to camp alone...don't(at least not in the United States).
