Ticks attach to warm moist places

The tick can attach almost anywhere but prefer warm, moist areas. Most commonly the groin, armpits, behind the knee, woman's underside of breast and neck(hairline).. Generally you don't feel the tick bite so it's important to check your body after being outside. Some experts think you can be infected almost immediately after the tick attaches to your skin while others think it takes 36 hours or more.
