That's odd, yet cool

Read some where that possums are big time tick eaters and are immune to tick born diseases which is why it's beneficial to have them around.

Possums are so gross that I would
Rather deal with the tick

You could just try not petting them.

who knew I have a possum honey hole - saw two this season.  They don't bother me a bit so I don't bother them.

You should hunt there only - bet you won’t even need permethrin if you do!!!

Place is loaded with ticks.  Probably why I saw them.   There should be armies of them there based on available food!

in that case i'm sure jason would prefer that you only hunt in their immediate area. if you can keep one of them in your coat for the recovery even better.
