I hope those folks got paid.
Can you imagine actually being one of those people that signed up to be bitten by ticks? Just reading the OP's story makes my hands sweat.
Nothing like being a half mile from the truck and looking down to see about 500 turkey ticks crawling 90mph up your pants...and you still have two or three more setups to tie in the corner.

I now take Himalayan salt, dissolve it in water, until the salt fully saturates the water. This makes a brine with about 25% salt, and some other minerals. Add about 2 tsp of this brine to a quart of water, and add about 1/2 tsp of epsom salt, (magnesium sulfate) and drink it every day.
It sure calms my nerves.
I don't call it science, but it works.
