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!"
