[quote=Anonymous]Check your scalp, pubic hair, and all body crevices. I found one mine last summer had burrowed in under my breast and the other later in summer in my pubic hair; talk about disgusting little critters. But really all you can do is keep checking for a few days. Had them as a kid and a small handful as an adult. Nowadays the protocol is prophylactic Lyme treatment with something like doxycycline. So if you find a tick or a suspected bite (even if no longer on you), see a doctor immediately. Google ahead of time how to remove a tick so you don’t panic; put it in a sealed jar or bag, photograph, and keep it — a doctor may need to know what type got you. Preparedness may help you feel more in control.[/quote]
