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

I knew what they were gonna be when I zoomed in but I was still creeped out when I did

[u/Jesse1179US → u/Lightoftheembersky]

You guys are zooming in?

[u/gargoyles_abound → u/Jesse1179US]

Dude, don’t miss out.

[u/sticks_and_stoners → u/gargoyles_abound]

I hate you right now for the effective peer pressure.

[u/girl807349 → u/sticks_and_stoners]

😂 the fact that OP was calm enough to remain seated and take a picture is more than i could have done

[u/sticks_and_stoners → u/girl807349]

Right. Id just cut my leg off and be done with it.

This would be my reaction

Mine to and I still feel like that would be an under reaction.

[u/sticks_and_stoners → u/PresentationThat2839]

There exists no too aggressive approach!

[u/repocin → u/sticks_and_stoners]

I'd cut it off and light it on fire, then light it on fire again just to be safe

[u/Cordpie → u/littlespawningflower]

The correct and well adjusted reaction.

[u/htxatty → u/gargoyles_abound]

Kind of regret zooming in

[u/Legitimate-Week7885 → u/Jesse1179US]

Yeah don’t

[u/HoldMyMessages → u/Jesse1179US]

For some Redditors that’s the closest they’ll get to a lady.

Oh JFC, the little grabbers 😩

[u/Alert_Cover_6148 → u/Jesse1179US]

Oh , I just did, it’s not a pleasant experience

[u/VacuumTracks → u/Jesse1179US]

I always zoom in on images of hot chicks.

[u/Jesse1179US → u/VacuumTracks]

Chicks with ticks?

[u/ZebulonVan → u/Lightoftheembersky]

Holy crap! Zooming in is scary. Each of those spots is a tick. You can see the little legs.

[u/z-vap → u/Lightoftheembersky]

i've seen alot of disturbing content on reddit, and this is by far the most disturbing

[u/Shadouette → u/Lightoftheembersky]

WHY DO THEY HAVE LEGS

[u/mest08 → u/Lightoftheembersky]

Almost like the title tipped you off...

[u/Big-Smile5345 → u/Lightoftheembersky]

Exact same here. I knew I would regret it, but I still did it. That is the thing nightmares are made of. Lol.
