Static electricity attracts ticks to hosts, scientists find

What I'm reading here is: "stay grounded"

Does that sound right?

Somehow I find this less surprising than I thought I would. Ticks are wild little things.

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.
