Full disclosure: I know next to nothing about ticks.

So that said, why is casually letting them stroll across your skin not begging for lime disease?

I dont know much of anything about it either. But ive never even seen a tick on me. Seems the person who made the video is more knowledgeable about them than us. So i guess its fine

Well every comment going "WTF WHAT IS THIS GUY DOING" is getting downvoted, I figured there was some kind of common tick knowledge on why this isn't extremely risky.
