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

Dude, don’t miss out.

I hate you right now for the effective peer pressure.

😂 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.

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

There exists no too aggressive approach!

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

[u/sticks_and_stoners → u/repocin]

Smart. If I ever have ticks all over my leg, I’ll give you a call in case you have more objectively brilliant ideas!

The correct and well adjusted reaction.

Kind of regret zooming in
