    They witnessed the ticks being readily pulled through the air across air gaps of several millimetres or centimetres

    That is kind of awesome.

      Maybe it could help.

      Maybe the earth grounding group are into something?

      What about go high to zap them instead?

    Very interesting, guess that also opens up many new possibilities on how to catch ticks carrying diseases and eliminate them.

    Imagine an electrical charged pole rod, which attracts ticks and zaps them. Dunno how practical that would be, haha.

      Hahaha. I imagine the research thinking “I want to zap those blood suckers”. Then experimenting and going “hey, look at that!”
