This is the fourth tick that I've found on myself. Approximately in the last 18 months. Damn the little pricks dig in deep and make a mess. (europe.pub)

Plenty of ticks where I live too. I've had as many as you (but it's not a competition - bloody annoying!)

Yeah this is the second one in a week. Or the same one that I didn't get the first time maybe. They leave quite a big red mark. So tiny too.
