Mine is also in nature camp. She enjoys it. They have been making a dam, so
I've had fun with lots of dam jokes. So far she hasn't "gotten" any of them.

>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.
