Also when there is a tick on you and you're panicking, remember; if it's on your front, hit it, and if it's on your back, roll to get it off. Dodging when there's a tick on your front might accidentally block their attack, and if you're too low on stamina or health, might stagger you and kill you, happened to me quite a number of times.

I have an extreme aversion to ticks. They gave my dog lyme disease and almost killed her, and then I started finding bloated females in the carpet at home identical to how they're portrayed in the game. Barf barf barf. Bad memories !!!
