Don't believe everything you read on the Internet! :-)
I remember blackberry picking with my sister when I was 6 years old. It
was hot so we sat beneath a tree for some shade and ticks began dropping
like crazy. She had a paper parasol which she put up and it truly sounded
like rain.
To answer Don's question about falling ticks, that's why I also treat my hat
with attached neck cover with Permethrin. Works great to repel mosquitoes
and deer flies also.
