Ticked Off!

Went to Yellow Bluff last night. While taking a rest I noticed a bug on the ground crawling towards me. The bug was a tick. Being a Marty Stouffer groupie. I've read a few articles and also watched Nature. They sense heat humidity & odor. During peak infestations when you walk through the woods there's a wave of ticks moving towards you. So keep moving. That's exactly what I did.
I got up , moved behind the Tick. It stopped then moved in my direction again. I repeated this a couple of times with the same results. It was neat to witness the phenomenon first hand.
As a side note the best way to kill a tick is to drop it in alcohol. I've tried using a hammer ,not very efficient. Oxy acetylene torch is just too cumbersome to carry around. Flushing will not do the job. They can crawl back up the drain. Now there 's something to think about.
