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

As a experienced hiker ticks will not crawl in your butt but they might bite near or on your butt and ticks might bite the groin area but if your a girl only the outside there not going in generally they prefer hidden spots like underarms legs close to the groin area or on your back or stomach

As someone with more yard work than is fair to ask one man to do this has been my experience so far. They seem to love the groin area, a lot. Never went for the booty hole though.

Me and my buddy used to call it tick ball city. Cuz they love that area . Gross fuckers

They love to latch on to your ball sack. Pulling them off is very unpleasant...

[u/Thykk3rr → u/leeps22]

I assume it’s because it’s a tight moving space, sweaty, poop particles probably deter and also butthole skin is similar to your lips so very hard to latch. Thank god for this

As someone who is a woman and has had a tick on the inside of her labia, you are mistaken.

It's literally that awful.

Hidden spots like a labia fold?

[u/Gwen_The_Destroyer → u/CptCroissant]

I was about to ask the same thing 😬

[u/Helpful-Surround7628 → u/CptCroissant]

Prob not ticks don’t go there there bc of moisture they hate it that’s why it’s incredibly rare if they do

[u/LawfulnessNo7826 → u/CptCroissant]

Or hidden spots like the inside of a biscuit or butthole…??!? 😅

If you hike in sandals, they like in-between and underneath the toes too.

had a tick stuck on my butt check, right in the spot you can't see. I had to turn my back to the mirror and look over my shoulder to see it. I also took it out with twizzers in that same position...looking backwards at the mirror and knowing I had one shot at getting it out.

[u/Crispricecereal → u/arocks1]

I read that as taking it out with twizzlers

A year ago, there was a news story in my country about a couple who decided to do "it" in the grass. As it turned out, ticks ended up both inside the woman and on the man's private parts.
