I just picked one off of my chest 2 days ago and picked one off of my kid's belly button. Both were large ones..
I picked a pretty large one off my kid's clothing the other night after playing outside. I saved it to show my wife because she'd never seen one before. Now, every bug outside looks like a tick to her. We started checking ourselves every time we come in the house form outside.
