I just went out though some grass and got ticks?

i was walking my dog and i wasnt paying attention and went through some long grass. now i have found 2 ticks on my head and a tick with its jaws already in my skin on my side. its been about 6 hours, (since i went though the grass) and im really frreaked out that i might get a desease. because i can feel them running over my skin and stuff. i dont like it and i need some advice on how to handle this. is there a tick repelent for people? or something like that? should i take a shower? please i need help!!

I know how it feels. Use Deep Woods Off with Deet. Works best for me. I would call a friend or family member to help you look for ticks on your body. Check under/around your bra area and your under pant area as well. They like to hide there. You should check your dog as well, if you have them, the dog might too. Get Frontline plus for the dog if your going to do this often. Make it safe as well. Make sure when you take the tick out, the head comes with it. Smother it with petroleum jelly, that helps, or touch it with a hot (blown out) match. That works sometimes. Then clean the area really good with peroxide. If you don't have a friend, family member, neighbor to help, go to urgent care or ER if you absolutely have too. Then take a shower, but don't scrub too hard. You don't want to "rip" any off your body. Also, 1 more thing. Put your clothes with shoes, in the washer on hot, and kill what might be on the clothes, and the dog collar/leash too. Then get a glass of wine or something to drink and relax, it's over.
