"They may also lodge in skin folds and body orifices such as the ears (even as deep as the ear drum), nose and vagina."
I have some second-hand experience with this. Not good...

Die fucker.... when I was a teenager and at my Grandparents place one summer I managed to find my way into an area that was covered in larval ticks. I then became covered in larval ticks. I counted 230 on my right ankle/foot as I was removing them with tweezers and just stopped counting at around 260 on my left leg. The following days of itching and burning dicsomfort has yet to be equaled by anything else I’ve been exposed to. Luckily they didn’t make it further north than my socks.
I’m just glad that baby ticks aren’t as likely to carry the same bacteria and other bad shit full grown ticks do. Besides Lyme diseases there’s quite a few tick borne illnesses that can have long term debilitating consequences.

Ticks haven’t pissed me off as much as chiggers have.

I can understand that. At a high-stakes DoD demo in San Antonio, a colleague of mine got chiggers in his asscrack on the first of three days of sit-down meetings. The suffering was epic.
The moral of this thread seems to be: keep chiggers and ticks out of your nether regions at all costs.
