This is not necessarily tractor related unless you are getting one out of the tall grass....   I had a terrible itching on my foot early this week.  I cannot feel my toes much due to the spinal nerve injury I have.  The foot is also on the leg with the really bad knee.   After 2 days of scratching my toes, I got my better half to get a light and magnifying glass out and look at my toes.   I had a very tiny tick between my little toe and the one next to it.  So small it had to be removed with tweezers.  The redness has nearly gone, and with Benadryl ointment I have some relief from the itching.  Still  watching for any signs of tick borne disease.   I never had a tick between my toes, but due to the arthritis and other injuries, I can't check things as thorough as I used to...

I mention this as I know we all get around the bugs and sometimes I think the bugs are winning.  I got a fly in my eye last week and had to go to the doctor for it.  I am not sure it still hasn't left a leg up there under my eyelid.  Tonight, I walked out the back door and got another one in my eye.  Its getting to where I have to wear safety glasses all the time...
