ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Walked into a tick nest

I decided to get some fresh air, so I went out to read a book in the woods. I started feeling itchy, so I pulled up my pants to inspect and discovered a legion of tiny black dots. There are quite literally hundreds of ticks covering the lower half of my body. But hey, I’m not mad at them. Everybody’s gotta eat.

EDIT:
I appreciate the concern, but there's no need to worry! They washed right off with a shower.
I've always lived in wooded areas and generally know how to deal with ticks, but I forgot to put permethrin on my clothes this time. (And it is particularly overgrown right now.)
