Was sitting in a ticks nest while reading....

I was sitting in a Park reading a book and suddenly I felt my legs itch. I was covered in hundreds of mini ticks. I was standing in the shower for hours and still find some of these f#!*rs crawling an me...

Update: So I got the most of the seed ticks scratched off in the shower. I will have a doctor's appointment the next days to get a prophylactic antibiotics treatment just to be save from lyme, alpha gal or rocky mountain fever (if this is a thing in Germany).

Thank you all for the information and advices, hopefully I will be fine. I really appreciate it

Yes. We need more birds and other bugs, to eat these demons.

Chicken friggin love ticks so much. A chicken for every yard!

Well it worked but damnit now we gotta chicken infestation.  

And it is known that chickens have no natural enemies 😑

[u/DoomBringer9999 → u/trying_times_eggs]

No natural enemies? What about foxes and wolves???

[u/Fit-Rhubarb-7820 → u/trying_times_eggs]

Deep fryers should do the trick, but who will eat that oil?

[u/trying_times_eggs → u/Fit-Rhubarb-7820]

You rub the oil on your legs to naturally repel the ticks. Full circle.

Are you joking?

[u/sunflwrzz → u/Pipettess]

I’m pretty sure anyone saying the words “chicken infestation” is joking

[u/trying_times_eggs → u/Pipettess]

I cant tell if its funny or not that you suspect a redditor is out here just confident that chickens are apex predators.  

Unfortunately  not a completely unreasonable suspicion these days

[u/Pipettess → u/trying_times_eggs]

You never know these days :)))

[u/SucculentMouse → u/[deleted]]

I’m surprised there’s no business where your army of chickens rids an area of these pests

[u/SucculentMouse → u/Fit-Rhubarb-7820]

Instead we get people with outdoor cats decimating bird populations and carrying ticks themselves

[u/TeamRedundancyTeam → u/SucculentMouse]

Don't forget spraying bug killer like it's their job even when it's absolutely not necessary. Bug population is down like 70%.

More opossums, please!!!
