Please help me. I work outside and yesterday in the woods I walked through what I believe to be a tick nest. I picked off dozens of ticks, but most of them are extremely tiny, and even today I keep finding tiny speck-sized ticks that have latched onto my body. They are hiding in my body hair and are just everywhere. Now that they have bitten I am worried about disease since I know the small ones are more likely to spread illness. I have also showered and scrubbed to get the ones who haven't latched on yet off, but it seems for many it was too late.

How can I rid my body and long hair of all of these ticks? My boss recommended duct tape, but I don't want to rip out my hair. I'm guessing there are many on my scalp that I haven't been able to locate on my own, and my hair is very thick and long. I really don't want to get sick because of this. Any help is appreciated
