Okay, so you must have got a tick from the foilage where you squatted to go to the bathroom. I would call a doctor right away and ask what to do in this case, as you may need an exam to make sure there are no more ticks hiding there. Ticks are dangerous as they spread Lyme disease and people can get infections from the bites. You could have some sort of contact dermatitis that could be from poison ivy or oak, or perhaps your breakout is from an allergic reaction to the tick bites. In any case, it is doubtful that you have genital herpes from urine as you suggested, but I would make sure you tell the doctor all the details of your sexual history and of what happened at the party so he/she can give you a correct diagnosis out of the many possibilities.

Make sure you wash all the clothing you wore that night of the party in very hot water and a good detergent. Add a cup of bleach to the cycle when you wash your panties or throw them away. Good luck I hope it is nothing serious.
