I have been playing in the great outdoors for most of my 60 years and have never had a tick on my body or clothes but anyone with me will without fail will have at least one

Ticks... "maybe". Mosquitos... I would say I find that hard to believe. You can honestly say that you've never had a mosquito on you or a mosquito bite? Please elaborate. You could get your DNA bottled and become a bazillionaire.

I can't see any way any type of immunity would keep them off your clothes if you're in tick country.

My wife is a Public Health Nurse and one of her areas of expertise is tick borne illnesses. She says while ticks seem to be more attracted to some people more than others, that there is no natural immunity and you should consider yourself fortunate.
