[blparent] Finding ticks on kids nonvisually?

[Lisamaria Martinez]

>From my campy friends, I'm told they can be a little tender at times
and other times you can't even tell. So I think asking if Austin has
any tender spots is a good way to start. Otherwise, I do believe the
ticks will be an unexpected lump under the skin--usually in warm areas
of the body.

But perhaps someone who has actual experience can give you better ideas.
