Some things I don't understand about ticks.

First, how exactly do they get on you? Say you're walking in tall grass. Do they see you coming and jump on you at just the right moment? How do they latch onto you if you're moving? How far can they jump? Seems like a hard life, hanging out in the grass all day hoping an animal will come by.

Second, how come we can't feel it when they bite us?

Third, are some people naturally immune to ticks? I spend a lot of time outdoors and in the woods and have only ever had one bite me. It was on my head so I think it fell from a tree I was standing under.
