I had up to 100 seed ticks on my right leg. I know that they all probably congregated on one blade of grass and then hooked onto my sock all together. I now have one leg completely covered in bites from my toes to right above my knee. I poured alcohol down my leg to start killing the ticks. The ones that didn't fall off, I shaved off with a razor. Some were still left so I brought out tweezers and dropped them into a small cup of alcohol. Now I've been extremely itchy all week. I soaked my foot in a solution of warm water, epsom salt, tea tree oil, and balsam apple ointment. It helped, but it's not a very efficient way of relief. I work for hours on end and I'm constantly on my feet, so is there anything you guys recommend to help relieve the itchy that occurs?

Sounds scary, huh? I actually live in the country and I was walking my dog around really tall weeds that are never mowed and are never sprayed to kill fleas and ticks. So I was asking for it.
