Scared I have a tick?

Two days ago I went and chilled in the sun in a field, the field as empty but it usually houses livestock.

I've recently been hearing about ticks and lyme's disease and now I'm a little freaked out. I feel this itchy, scratchy feeling on my skin in varying areas and I am worried I might have some parasite/tick on me.

How can I check, should I go the doc? I want someone else to help look but I have no one,

What should I do?

    you can see a tick easily enough. Look for them, particularly in your hair, they are roughly the size of a lentil or bigger and once they stick into your skin they suck blood and get bigger and no they do NOT itch.
