On holidays and paralysed with OCD

Posted earlier this week about being on holidays in Europe and constantly worrying about ticks and TBE / meningitis. This has built on itself and now I am totally overwhelmed about bringing ticks home in our luggage. I had an idea to put all of our clothes in the hotel dryer on a high heat as it’s supposed to kill ticks but the filters on the hotel driers had some dead ticks (!) so now I’m afraid to use those. Am just freaking out and can’t figure out a way to leave.

Anyone have any good coping strategies that they can share please? Thanks in advance

Won't be any live or active ticks in Europe at this time of year - too cold.
