Key takeaways
One discovery is evidence of exposure
The same vegetation or animal contact may place several ticks on clothing or skin. They may not all be the same life stage or size.
Work systematically
Use good light and move from head to toe. Record each attachment site and follow local medical or veterinary advice if illness develops.
