Default RE: Tick bite...

Yes, ticks are absolutely horrible this year. Check yourselves every night before sleeping. Lyme's is usually the result of a tick being embedded for awhile. You don't get it from every bite and not if they are just crawling on you. It's from the one's not found for several days that have been feeding for awhile. It's , I believe, actually the baby ticks that spread it when they embed. They can be very difficult to see at 1st. (so small) Don't forgt your scalp. I found/felt a few crawling in my hair when turkey hunting. Ultra Thon by 3M is very good at keeping them away.
