Just found one on myself.

And we did a tick check before leaving on Sunday.

Bah.

I am told an unfed nymph can live up to a week, and they are perfectly happy to hitch a ride to your house or car on any object you might bring in. (I imagine shoes might be particularly good transport for them, as they don't get washed.) Once fed, the tick can apparently live for months.
