In answer to your question, no, probably not. But hey, what do I know?

yea there are

yeah man they are called LEACHES! didnt you ever watch STAND BY ME?

probably

I've never heard of a bug called a "water tick". I do know that ticks are hard to kill and can survive in the water for a little while until they can find a host. Anytime you are outdoors near a wooded area or tall grass it is best to check yourself for ticks after your outing bcz they carry some nasty diseases.
