    Genuine question, what are you doing on a regular basis where you would expect to get ticks on you while wearing jeans? Are you a pokemon trainer walking through tall grass all day?

      Hiking and fishing, mostly. It doesn’t take much to get a tick. If they get near my feet they can latch onto my ankle if I don’t catch them soon enough.

        Ok yeah fair. I live in tick country as well so any time you go in ankle high grass you will likely get ticks. I mostly just put on my outdoor pants or bug spray if I expect to do so.
