I once went camping in an area known for ticks. I learned that they like to latch on around the hair, armpits, the groin, in the butt crack area, and the belly button area. Do a check of those areas, or have a friend check for you. If you find a latched tick on you, put it in a sandwich bag, and keep it. It can be tested for Lyme disease later.
Might be good to have a friend do it. Not too many strangers will check your cornhole for ticks, I've asked.
Asking someone to inspect your butt crack for ticks is basically the friendship test
