Ticks do not drop from trees.

Where is your proof?

They have thermal sensors on their forearms and are known to climb trees. Why wouldn't they approach from above?

		Tick behavior is well-researched and it's a basic fact that they do not climb, or jump from, trees. They climb low vegetation (not just grass) and wait for a host to pass by ("questing"). If you're going to disagree with basic textbook biology knowledge, the burden of proof is on you.
