Just FYI, you can vaccinate yourself against ticks these days.
Still don’t want them on me, but at least you don’t have to worry about borrelia

The vaccine only has a 80 % efficacy. Don’t go around getting ticks just because you get vaccinated.

I envy people whose problem with ticks is borreliosis.
Ours have the fun stuff: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tick-borne_encephalitis
Luckily, there also a vaccine against that. So I’ll expand the PSA to that (especially for those that moved here from abroad)

The vaccine against it also needs to be refreshed regularly

Moved where ?

Central and eastern Europe. The Wikipedia article has a map.
Although you should always check the official vaccine recommendations of your country/area, like this one for Germany
