tick check
Post-hike body scan
A tick check is an inspection of the body for ticks after spending time outdoors in areas where the parasites are common.
Parents perform tick checks on children after hikes or camping; adults check themselves and partners.
The routine involves examining skin, hair, and clothing for the small arachnids before they can attach and transmit disease: Don't forget to do a tick check before bed.
