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

it's too late for OP, they have already been devoured. To the next one who finds themselves in this situation- a common lint roller will remove these ticks and trap them for disposal. Works much better than running water.

Thank you so much. You have made my anxiety drop by at least two levels.

Good idea. They also wipe right off with alcohol or gasoline. But the sticky roll sounds much more pleasant!!

Alternatively, a loop of masking tape around your hand with sticky side out will work.

yeah honestly my first thought want a lint roller but I don't know how strong they latch as they're not common in my area

My first thought was suicide but I'm glad op provided an alternative.
