Having removed an engorged black legged tick 3 days after walking  
through some Mass. woods recently  in spite of my precautions (light  
clothing, long pants, jacket, hat,  inspection), I'm interested in  
hikers' "best practices" to avoid ticks.

I noted DW's rolled up cuffs over his boots, for example, - any others?

Btw, my inspection (with assistance) missed a key site: my b. button.  
So check that one! (It became itchy, that's when I felt it there.)
