I really, really fucking hate ticks. They scare the shit out of me. So far in the last two weeks, my brother found on in his hair, my mom found two on her, my mom’s partner found a handful, there was one in the upstairs bathroom so I was using the downstairs bathroom until today when I found one in there. I don’t know what to do. They scare the shit out of me and now nowhere in my house feels safe. I feel like things are crawling on me constantly. I don’t go outside if I can avoid it. I can’t hug my mom or snuggle my cat because I’m worried they’ll have ticks on them. I’m sobbing on the bathroom floor (upstairs, after thoroughly checking) because I really really cannot do this for months. All through spring and summer and into fall. I hate the cold but I wish it was winter again.
