In my experience, they tend to move off of your clothes and into your unmentionable areas pretty quick. Giving yourself and your clothes thorough once over in all the "tight" places should be sufficient. Check through your hair, armpits and anywhere else the sun don't shine (even your belly button). Usually they take a long time before they start digging in, so if you do a thorough check once you're home, you can usually get them in time. If you're worried about the clothes, a wash and a hot dryer should take care of them. Never seen a tick in the clean laundry.
On the plus side, if they're out this early, maybe the season will end early too?
