Of course grass ticks aren't actually a species of grass-dwelling tick - they're the larval stage of some types of tick. There's no specialist treatment, just endurance of the agonising itching, albeit with the help of anti-histamine tablets (day and night), hydracortisone creams and - I've been recommended - 1 cup of Bicarbonate of Soda in a hot bath, which is next on my agenda!

So not funny. And in your bed? Ughhh!!!!! M skin is crawling just to think of it.
Itchy is right. This must be driving you nuts. Just another hazard of our wonderful country.
Oh my heavens! I have never heard of such a thing. Yucky tick!
I know what you're going through Sara - we have them on the South coast too. Take care, I got quite sick after a similar attack. You are having a run of bad luck, aren't you hopefully things will turn around soon.
