As I said, tick season has begun. After tonight's walk I had 12 on me. Don't forget to do tick checks every night if you live in an area where they are. The proper way to do a tick check is to take off every bit of clothing and mound it up in the bathtub. Ticks like to climb and you'll be able to pick them off the top later or you'll see them if they go walk-about on the tub's surface. Next check everywhere on your skin. They especially like folds so make sure you check the back of your knees, belly button, and ears. Comb you hair forward over the sink in case there are any lurking there. Finally, put on fresh clothes. Never wear the clothes you took off until they've been laundered. I bit of a bother but once you get used to it less than 5 minutes total.
