I keep getting ticks in my hair!

[SLCentral]

Yeah, I shower and wash my hair daily. But, every couple weeks for the past two months, I go to scratch my head, and I grab a fvcking tick. From there, I freak out, search my hair 50 times for ticks, shower multiple times, and still find nothing. Repeat every two weeks. WHERE ARE THE DAMN THINGS COMING FROM?!

You need to scour your room ASAP. Wash sheets, pillow covers, pick up everything off the floor, vacuum thorougly, etc. etc. etc.

Medicated shampoo?

Maybe your bedding? Its possible one or three got in there and made more. The mattress may in fact be infested.

Get a plastic cover for your mattress.

Stop rolling around in tall grass?

1. shampoo your head using medicated shampoo
2. clean everything.. even vacuum your bed with the sheets off
3. put all stuffed animals in air tight bags for 2+ weeks
4. shampoo again

edit: this is the steps for lice, i have no idea if that is what you mean or not.

Do you wear a hat?

That's the thing. I don't really go in any places where there would be ticks. I mean, when I walk to a next-door shopping center (which I did yesterday), I cross through a patch (appx. 3 feet) of woody area, but thats it.

i don't think ticks have anything to do with being dirty. do you live in a rural area or go to rural areas a lot?

Thats all it takes if there are ticks in that area.
