I'm the opposite. No matter how hot it is, I'm wearing full-length jeans. It's never bothered me, and I've had significantly fewer instances of finding ticks on my body compared to my friends.

Genuine question, what are you doing on a regular basis where you would expect to get ticks on you while wearing jeans? Are you a pokemon trainer walking through tall grass all day?

Hiking and fishing, mostly. It doesn't take much to get a tick. If they get near my feet they can latch onto my ankle if I don't catch them soon enough.

Ok yeah fair. I live in tick country as well so any time you go in ankle high grass you will likely get ticks. I mostly just put on my outdoor pants or bug spray if I expect to do so.
