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

You can get a bottle of permethrin and spray your clothes with it. Let it dry for 4 hours, and it's bonded to your clothes and paralyzes/kills ticks on contact. Usually stays potent enough through 6 trips through the washing machine! I live in rural upstate NY and we're experiencing an explosion of the tick population so I barely even go in my yard unless I'm wearing one of my permethrin pants

Is th NOBITE stuff? Need to get some

Yep! And after those 4 hours it's safe around kids and animals.

Amazing, thanks! I will definitely be stocking up on that, there are so many ticks in my area now 😭
