I have had many ticks but never could I feel one of them walk around on me.

    Most people seem to have a pretty bad sense of touch.

    During certain times of years you get a lot of single spider-silk threads flying in the air and I constantly walk into them. But almost no one else seems to notice them.

    People don’t notice them? I usually don’t see them and my brain immediately starts telling me something is weird on my arms.

    Always takes me way too long to figure it out because the first thoughts are always incredibly rational “what if i got bitten by a giant snake i didn’t notice?” And “where is the crawling bug?” Only then “oh, yeah, the thin spider web…”

    I recently have been bitten by quite a few ticks and can never seem to find them until days later. They are so fucking tiny, smaller than a grain of sand! Oh yeah just feel my legs? How do you tell the difference between a tiny scab from a thorn scratch or a tick then? Usually only find them once they have been there for a while and got bigger. Which isn't exactly ideal.
