Deer tick alert

I found a deer tick on [livejournal.com profile] gosling after we got home from Baitcon, which could have been there since Friday afternoon for all we know. So, check yourselves for ticks, and check your kids too! Deer ticks are tiny, so look carefully. And, next year it would be a good idea to do what we did not and check yourselves and your kids at least once a day.

Yes, hmark42 had two deer ticks as well. Not sure how long they were there, he never checked himself. Regardless, he called the dr & will get a preventative antibiotic (he may have it already).

Maybe it would be worth announcing 'tick check!' occasionally during the con?
