Luckily, scorpions rarely attack you from a tree in Central Europe.
That ticks attack you from trees is actually wrong.
can you enlighten us on the probable vectors of tick to human contact?
Fun fact, when you see someone forest walking out their rectangle of white cloth or some dude waving a white flag at tall grass, it’s actually researchers collecting questing ticks (those that wait in the grass to catch onto something)
