I can also add that the most common areas of the body for tics to be
found in is around the hairline. If they were from legs brushing on
brush, I would expect most of them would be found on the legs rather
than on the hairline of the head. Take your pick, bu I firmwarely
believe that they sense Carbon dioxide and drop from the trees.
