You may not see a deer tick. They are much smaller than the more common
dog tick - the deer tick is about the size of the period at the end of a
printed sentence. Unfortunately, we have both even down here in Florida
and my wife has already experienced the "bullseye" rash.

I wear knee-length gators, long pants, a long sleeve shirt and a hat when
working outside, and always strip down and check my body for ticks when I go
inside. Important to carefully check in your hair, as they like to crawl up
there and hide.
I try to do most of my antenna work in the fall when it isn't so hot, but near
as I can tell, ticks are present from when the snow melts to when it falls
again.
I live in an area prone to Lyme disease, but we've never seen a deer tick here,
only dog (wood) ticks. But that doesn't mean they aren't here. We have deer and
mice on the property every day.
