I Believe that the black-legged, or lyme tick is almost too small to see
with the naked eye; as far as I know is still quite rare in NS. Still, one
should be careful, lyme disease is no fun!

Regarding James's "tiny wood ticks" it would be more important first to get
the ticks identified first -- I don't believe wood ticks or dog ticks carry
the spirochete bacterium that causes Lyme Disease -- the vector of that
malady is what we used to call the deer tick but now is referred to as the
black-legged tick, which is much smaller than a wood or dog tick in the
adult stage. In any case, people finding ticks of any kind should still be
keeping them and getting them to local offices of Dept. of Nat. Resources,
or directly to Jeff Ogden at the Shubenacadie Forest Insect Lab of NSDNR or
to Andrew Hebda at the N.S. Museum of Nat. History in Halifax, 1747 Summer

Cheers? in tick season from Jim in Wolfville

Wood ticks found on your skin? I'd seriously be considering getting tested
for Lyme.
If Jeff Ogden (tick expert)is reading this, what would he suggest?
