[quote=Anonymous]I've found many a tick crawling on me and quick a few that were attached (I used to be a field ecologist, so spent lots of time crawling through brush). I've always been able to spot them pretty easily despite being covered in freckles. I just look for dark black flecks, particularly ones that are moving. The tiny ones can be hard to feel but after looking enough, I seem to have developed a sixth sense about where they are. I've also pulled one off my child. My dog does not get many so long as he has Frontline, but when he does they are much more difficult to find until they start growing. We spend a lot of time outside and I just make sure to do casual tick checks when we come in and a more thorough look before bed if we've been in the woods. [/quote]
