I Checked The Net And I Found Maybe A Western Blacklegged Tick Which Has A Reddish Abdomen.it Is Small(2.6mm)does This Sound Like What Your Seeing?or Is It More Like A Wrom?

They are called mites. They are smaller than fleas and yes they will get on your skin. You should use insect repellant during this time of year that contains deet. Deet will kill these things. They will cause you discomfort in that they make you itch.
