I'm in Bavaria, my mom wanted to go hiking, I still have 1 day left of hiking, but I am so scared of ticks. 0,1-5% of ticks here carry FSME. I am a hypochondriac and it is BAD. I can feel it crawling everywhere. I checked my body, but what if a tick is on my hair/scalp? I wasn't walking in tall grass, but I was in the woods.

I am not vaccinated, I don't have repellent..nothing. I'm just so scared of getting one. But this anxiety is kind of ruining the vacation. My sister said being anxious ruins everything, and it is true. But I just cannot help it.
