If I put non-dryable merino/other sporty fabrics in the tumble dryer, will I damage them in less than 5 minutes?
I slept under a tarp in the highlands and got a bunch of tick bites (not my best idea). They were crawling around on my sleeping bag, clothes and so on when I had to pack my stuff up. I don't really want them living in the flat or on my stuff (although they should only live a couple of days indoors). I read they can survive the wash cycle but will die within 5-6 minutes in the tumble dryer, so I'd like to kill them off that way. But don't want to ruin my clothes. Ideas?
