Having to strip down and inspect every part of yourself..and finding them in places you don't want to think about. I hate ticks so much. Anyone else think ticks are worse than any other hunting challenge?
One solid method is to treat your clothes with permethrin before heading out, it kills ticks on contact and lasts for several washes. Combine that with light-colored clothing to spot them easily and frequent self-checks.
Bonus: tuck pants into socks and wear boots for extra peace of mind.
