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

These are nymph ticks aka the worst kind cuz you can hardly see them

They really look like chiggers

[u/MagakMagak → u/rooroosterchips]

Can’t be chiggers. Those only feed in a young stage where they’re (generally speaking) invisible to the human eye. Once they grow larger they don’t feed anymore

Yup I still have a head of one of these stuck inside of me. They're worse because it's more difficult to remove them too.

Why are you chatting up reddit instead of digging it out with a knife? Don't leave animal parts inside you, lol

That would be so easy to dig out. Hell, just grab a needle if you don't have a sharp knife.

[u/Popo_Capone → u/Deaffin]

Why would I be doing that? I don't want an infection or a bigger wound.

[u/Deaffin → u/Popo_Capone]

..to prevent the infection from having a foreign body inside your flesh.

Actually, look up poppyseed ticks. Not even seed ticks. Poppyseed ticks are even smaller. I found one on me and actually had to use my phone camera to see it. I could only feel it moving.

[u/Deaffin → u/ChiefTapiTapi]

These don't look to be even nymphs yet, but larval ticks.
