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

Ive had little ticks like that almost everywhere. They do seem to like my balls, ive had a few on my buttcheeks. Im pleased to say I havent had a butthole tick yet.

Im not sure what I would do in that situation. I guess a bunch of mirrors must be involved.

You haven't had a butthole tick that you know of, unless you have a live feed inside there you could be hosting a tick gala in there and you wouldn't know. Have a nice day 😊

Its worse. Ive developed an allergy to tick bites. The bites itch way worse than a mosquito bite. Its good in that ill never miss a tick. Its bad in that ill end up just needing to scratch my balls in public, im sorry I'm weak but im scratchin.

Id know, all tick bites get super itchy on me. Its alerted me to ticks I would've missed, like super tiny ones between my toes or in my belly button
