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.

Any tips for looking for them in dark hair, presuming I can find someone to do so?

Never had one in my hair, but I think you could check yourself: feel around for bumps that shouldn't be there. If you find something odd, ask someone too look if it's a tick.
