- The best way to keep ticks off of you is to use THIS tip! Ticks cause lyme disease (and other harmful diseases) so it's important to prevent them from biting your skin in the first place! Behold - Permethrin! Permethrin is a fabric insect repellent treatment that can be sprayed on your hiking boots, clothing, tents, sleeping bags, etc. to prevent ticks in the first place! The treatment lasts 6 weeks or 6 washes and repels ticks, mosquitos and other harmful critters! After treating your gear, you'll want to also protect your skin from ticks and mosquitos with picaridan. It is safer than deet and does a great job of repelling bugs. Hope this video is helpful and keeps you tick free!

Welcome to my channel! I'm Allie, an archer, hunter, angler, and public lands advocate. But really, I'm an all around lover of all things outdoors! I enjoy sharing all of my adventures here on CZcams including the good and the bad. Learning how to enjoy the outdoors is a PROCESS and I'm here to share mine with you. Thanks for watching!
As a hairy wolf man, I always feel mosquitos, ticks and horse flies on my skin
I am surrounded by the Patuxent river, Patomac river and the Chesapeake bay. My house has woods behind it and ticks are a problem. We release nematodes twice a year, when needed, to kill the ticks. There are many types of nematodes and you have to choose one that suits your needs. They kill more than ticks and some might kill beneficial insects, which is why the right ones, for your area, need to be picked. We order them online and once released, ticks aren't a problem for 2-3 years.
Hey, great news, I'm in Delaware.. is killing us this year.. Brewer's yeast worked last year for us and the dogs.. this year it is not working! Do you have a website to recommend or even the names of the nematodes that are safe for our area? Thanks!
Eat fresh chopped garlic every day. Spray clothes with a water, neem oil, ac vinegar, and eucalypus oil. Guineas eat lotza ticks so do opossum.
Thank you for stating this. Only way to safely protect yourself.
Wrong. Possums do not eat ticks. Research it non scientific study claimed they did. Wrong facts.
Fear of tick diseases is the single most thing that keeps me from exploring the woods like I wish I could. Thank you for this!
Yes, they suck! Thanks for watching Sarah!
That's really a shame because most of the information is nonsense the chemical she is promoting in this video is far more dangerous than 100 tick bites
@@OutdoorsAllie They _do_ suck.
Don't be scared to live
Firstly, the thumbnail has been created. A tick does not go under the skin. Only its mouth, which is 2mm long. Only deer ticks cause Lyme disease. They are very small,usually a nuisance in spring and fall. They have black legs. Only 15% of deer ticks carry Lyme. Plus you have between 24-72 hours to discover the creature on your body. Go see a doc for antibiotics. Some people have a greater propensity for severe stages of Lyme disease. Some don’t.
Going back and watching some tick videos. Brushing up on my regimen. I got a nasty surprise this morning. I’d went squirrel hunting, we just came out of the coldest temps in like 40yrs for this time of year. I didn’t do my standard tick prevention. I just took off my gear gave a quick look and called it good. Stayed up late, went to shower before bed and found a deer tick burrowed into my hip DEEP. So even with fine tweezers still had to grab the body. Will be getting on antibiotics soon. Just as a precaution. Cause when I looked at the map, the county I was in is a hot spot for ticks. Moral of the story: If it’s warm enough for you, it’s probably warm enough for ticks.
Ugh. They're so nasty.
2 ticks on me today. 1 yesterday.. been building in the woods for a 2 weeks
Put dish soap on the tick to smother and they will try to come out. Then you can get them out pretty easy.
Asthmatics cannot use pyrethrins- can't breathe. Also damages nerves- bad for children.
We have been using peppermint extract purchased in pints or quartz and we mix it with water and a spray. This is Been somewhat effective, though we have had ticks on us, we have not been bitten. Works excellent for mosquitoes!
TY SWEET LADY = gonna stock up now!
Wow that was a lot more simple than I thought!
Thank you Outdoors Allie!!
Thank you. Nice video.
Thank you Allie for sharing with us.
Thanks for watching!
This was great. I hope you do more of these.
Thank you!
i tell people about permethrin frequently love that stuff
Spot on advice.
You got to me just on the nick of time kiddo, I stopped riding my Harley’s and sold them because I’m at the age if I get hurt it last forever. Well I fell in love with the outdoors again spent a whole bunch of money on a beautiful tent camping gear survival equipment and then I was going to send it all back because I thought about ticks, bang then comes my brown eyed beauty and tells me about this stuff and I could go outside again much love thank you
Novas Scotia Canada the tic Capital of the world! We carried pack of cigarettes and matches. A lighted cigarette close to tic causes them to back out with pinchers !
Thanks Allie.
Thanks for watching Tracy!
Thank you for making this video
My pleasure!
It’s great to see an outdoors Woman sharing intelligent and science ! I have a tiny house in Maine! So, I’m super preparing before I get there, boots on the ground. Thank you for the info!!
Thanks for watching April!
Install a Barn Owl nest box. The Idaho Extension has a plan to build two Barn Owl nest boxes from one sheet of exterior plywood. Mount them 8 feet high and place the entrance away from the winter wind. Make the entrance an oval no more than 4x5 inches.
Ticks life cycle included a small warm blooded host. These rabbits, rodents and such act as a reservoir for diseases. Barn Owls will suppress the host population.
Deer are an excellent tick host. You’ll need to make a wolf den as well as the barn owl nest box.
@@1wheeldrive751 Ticks have a two year life cycle involving three blood hosts. Rodents are typically involved in one of the nymph stages. A Screech Owl nest box and late Winter early Spring Controlled burns are means to reduce tick populations. Blood seeking ticks and pit vipers are active before Dung beetles come out of hibernation. Prepare your land and remove debris from around tree trunks of desirable trees to prevent damage. Break the tick cycle and put pressure on their reliable hosts the Deer mice and White-footed Forest mice. Controlled burns also help clear underbrush.
I am 55 and I spend hundreds of hours a year in the woods hunting, hiking and mushroom foraging. Eating a large fresh clove of garlic and a couple pinches of cayenne pepper every day makes a huge difference. It is not perfect but on average I will get 80 to 90% less ticks than people that are with me.
If you don't want to eat a clove of garlic, you can pop a garlic OIL supplement - not a garlic supplement, and achieve the same results. Works for gnats and mosquitoes as well.
I do the garlic thing, didn't know about the cayenne pepper. Thanks.
@@MikeOrazzi Yes sir ! I actually started taking cayenne and garlic for the huge amount health benefits and then all my buddies started calling me a liar when i would say i only had one or two ticks after a day in the woods and they had 20 or more ! lol. Gotta be the garlic and pepper. Hope it helps brother.
Good to know Thanks
good stuff!!! thanks for the info!
It's good stuff.
This is so informative and useful Thank you Allie. God bless you.
Glad it was helpful Jason!
You are welcome you are doing a great job I love helpful and informative videos that's how I learn. I'm a visual learner as well as doing things with my hands.
Water and geranium essential oil in a spray bottle.
There's a popular spray they sell for horses and other animals to repel ticks and fleas, and that's pretty much its ingredients, simple, natural, works well. Edit - It's called Bodyguard and uses geraniol which can be derived from geranium essential oil or citronella. I just make mine homemade it's way cheaper and smells better imo, you have to shake it well especially if you don't have an emulsifier in it (dawn or Castile soap work good). But yea I put it on my lower body and some on the puppy anytime we go into deep woods in areas loaded w ticks and never bring any home w us when I use it. I'd never use anything even remotely toxic on my clothes, my body, or my dog.
Great educational video. I haven't been as careful as needed. Will try your regiment. Thanks!!!
Regimen
Very informative, I live in northern Minnesota and the ticks are outrageous. Thnx
Glad it was helpful!
I spent 12 hours a day outside riding trail horses in mountains. The best thing for me is I eat crushed fresh garlic every day or rub a clove on the bottom of my feet before putting boots on. I tried garlic pills they don't work. I also shave entire body accept for my head but tie hair up and wear a hat. I might feel a tick crawling but never have they latched on. My body will not tolerate chemical tick sprays even pymitherin which stinks so bad the only reason cows will stick their faces through sand bags soaked in it is their after the grain in the feeder
PYMITHRIN IS MY GO TO FOR ALL MY OUTDOOR GEAR AND CLOTHES.NEVER ON MY SKIN.AND HAVE NO PROBLEMS!
This is exactly how I do it too, whether I'm fishing or working outdoors, etc. Works great so far!
Sure does!! Thanks for watching.
The best way to prevent blood-suckers from biting us is a proper human diet, which is low to no carbs. It's not our blood that these creatures want - it's the glucose (sugar) in our blood. If the blood glucose is low enough, they won't detect it, and they, mostly, won't bite. I can be outside for hours on end, with gnats all over me and not get bit.
Excess glucose in the blood is hands down the #1 root cause of just about all human disease.
Another benefit of a low to no carb diet is that qe don't get sunburned, no sunscreen needed. The weight gets normal, too.
What exactly does that mean, low to no carbs? What do you eat?
@@DaLeSy. No sugars no grains or root vegetables
@@kenputer56 I'm already eating like that, I still got a tick on me the other day. Although I do eat some fruits. But personally I think we need some glucose. Our brain runs on it.
Yea I mean my dog only eats meat and has still gotten ticks, I've also gotten ticks while on carnivore so I'm not sure this theory holds up. I don't get sunburn though 😂
Thanks for the video Allie:) Give Abbie a big hug from us
No doubt!
I used to work for our state's Department of Conservation & had a supervisor that would use permethrine religiously...sometimes spraying down her clothes after we got out of the vehicles on the way into the woods (which you aren't supposed to do per the label). I started getting worried about chemicals & the potential tie to cancers about that time, so I experimented by starting to go into the woods with nothing on. I saw no significant difference in the amount of ticks that I found versus what she found, so I've opted out of using harsh chemicals that last on your clothes through several washings. In my mind it's deciding which risk you are more comfortable taking...possibly getting a tick disease versus 100% having chemical on your body.
Now, I'm in the woods frequently doing chainsaw work or selling property. Today, I wear tall rubber boots & tuck my pants inside, even when it's very hot. Often, I take a change of clean clothes & put them on before I get in my vehicle (this probably has the greatest impact) to drive home. I also use duct tape (gorilla tape is my favorite version) to dab all over my clothes to pick up ticks I haven’t seen (this is especially effective for small "seed" ticks).
Hope this helps someone find their best tick prevention strategy!
Very brave, going into the woods with nothing on😊
I agree, I don't like the idea of putting these nasty chemicals on my skin. What you put on your skin gets absorbed into your skin.
Hi. Like the no chemicals. And always check your whole body
@DanielSon69 Gotta be brave to even take a breath in this world, you might choke on your own spit...lol! 😁
A follow-up story to my original comment...
I believe that some of the sprays/treatments can be effective. I just personally am not comfortable with the possible risk of what they could be tied to in this particular case at this time.
I had an experience where I had symptoms similar to Lyme disease a few years ago after working in the woods on a habitat project. The doctors started to treat me with a prescription as if I had Lyme disease, but then my blood tests came back negative for Lyme disease. I never found out what caused me to have those symptoms. The only thing abnormal/not typical that I could possibly link it to was that I had been spraying glyphosate a few days earlier.
Glyphosate has historically been touted as a "safe" chemical, but now we are seeing evidence that it's possibly tied to some health issues. My personal experience leans towards this being true. That experience also makes me question the use of other "safe" chemicals. Hence, accepting the risk of contracting a tick borne disease over using a "safe" chemical that we may one day decide isn't so safe.
You may weigh the risks differently than I do. If so, we can still be friends. 😊
I’m a Professional Forester with 42 years experience working in tick infested woods. Permethrin works. I also tape my pant leg to my boots. Be sure and spray your boots. Change clothes when you get home.
Yep, thanks Ron!
Magnesium ❤
Great info. Thanks. 👍🍻
Thanks for watching!
Permethrin is what I use. However if you can't find it (Hearts 2 in 1, flee and tick collars) put them around your ankles
I live in Niagara Falls ontario and ticks are everywhere!!!! Took 5 off the dog just yesterday and i check him and remove ticks daily.. we hike a lot..
Yikes!
I felt something crawling up my leg, sure enough a tick, was quick to give it a flick!
This is exactly what I started to do last year. I tried hunting on the ground more. The bugs exspesilly the mosquitoes were so bad. Soon as I bought the same stuff you had in your hand, it was amazing. The mosquitoes started to leave me alone and there was no ticks willing to jump on permethrin
It's a game changer!
I rather wear a hazmat suit than go freaking spraying insecticides on myself, yuck
I spend A LOT of time in the woods & it seems like every time I go out with clothes that aren't treated with permethrin, I get ticks on me. That stuff is really good! I will have to start treating my boots like you said. Great video Allie!
Great stuff.
If I were nick I would take horse paste, 1 notch for every 50 lbs body weight, 1 tube 1200lbs ! Ivermectin 1.87%, at tractor supply or Amazon
Elimatic clothing works wonderfully and I do not turkey hunt with out it..
60 years ago when I was a kid, I was in the woods constantly and had never even heard of a tick. Apparently Fauci hadn't developed them at that point.
If I find an embedded tick on myself or my pet I find a cotton ball or tissue soaked with good ole amber Listerine will cause them to back out. Although they might regurgitate, of course they regurgitate when poked with tweezers too. Also heard a Vet recommending spraying diluted Listerine on cats and dogs as a repellent. Might work on pants and socks, too.
Hiya OA! For some reason I didn't know about Picaridin stuff. So after getting a notion and having a look around for tick removal today (Ordered the 'Tick Twister') I ran into your EXCELLENT piece. Got some ordered just a minute ago and came back to say thanks. Mosquitoes don't bother me much but I'm a regular tick chick. The little rascals love me! Also, almost as bad are noseeums. They leave places on me that last up to 3 weeks. My solution is Dickies coveralls (spacesuit). Even though I nearly got heat stroke last October working on the food plots...I gotta wear them. Permethrin is a bonus. I know that stuff works. I decided to visit the digs a couple of weeks ago in my regular hunting clothes and of course brought a tick back home. The wife pulled that off at 3AM with tweezers when my leg got to itching. So it's back to the spacesuit. DEET is really not good for me, so I'm going to have a go with your suggestion around the sleeves, collar, etc. Being a club I have to be out there some in the summer. I appreciate your super vid!
Your bestest fan in Alabam,
Norm
Thanks for watching Norm. Glad it was helpful.
Permethrin definitely seems like the way to go!
spent my whole life outside got ticks all the time, im 38 and got lyme disease 2 years ago, i thought i was dying it was that bad,i thought my head was going to explode i was in so much pain. weird... almost like it was a lab leak or purposely released.
It was a gain of function Fauci invention on purpose to kill people.
Yes, it can be bad!
I read from the CDC once that tics will typically crawl around on your body till they find a comfort spot. Once they find this spot it said the average time a tic waits to bite was between 7 to 12 hours. However, they must not know about Idaho tics because every spring I have several on me every few hours and bad days I've got 15 or so I pick off every 30 minutes. But I've had em bite but not burrow after a few hours into my day. However often they bite, you have a very small possibility of actually catching a disease. But, for the outdoorsman especially in the spring, the chances are greater due to all tics falling off animals and finding new hosts. Never heard of these products. I will have to try.
Definitely worth it!
Good info. Neighbor got Lyme disease five years ago and can no longer walk. People with type B blood less likely to be bit, type A blood are ticks preferred choice.
Interesting. Never heard that before!
I'm B positive and had a tick biting me just yesterday so please don't believe this bs, thanks
I wear clothing from Craghoppers that has insect repellant made into the fabric, and I use Bert's Deet for my hands and neckline. Haven't had any issues during my hikes yet.
Cool, I'll have to check it out!
Alpha Gal scares me more than anything.
Word! Do everything Allie says. Lyme Disease victim here. Had to fight through many a fever and illness to keep going in my life but Lyme Disease knocked me out for the count for about 5 days. Thought I was dying. Took every ounce of my soul just to crawl out of bed to take a leak as well as get to the doctor for treatment. I live alone I had no help. Uggghhhhh. It's no fu**ing joke.
@Nikolai Ninja thank you and indeed. I thought it was a poisonous spider or snake bite but thankfully the doc suspected Lyme Disease and started treatment before the test came back and he knew for sure. I know people who's doctors would refuse to treat for Lyme Disease until the test results came back leading to more unnecessary pain and damage.
Nick was the same way. Terrible.
Permethrin is Awesome...if i don't have it, i apply 'sublimed sulfur' powder around my waist, boots also if im hunting wild boar....it keeps the chiggers/red bugs out also. Fortunately, i'm 12.5% Cherokee and Rarely have an issue with mosquitos =) *I remember as a young 12 year old miscreant my Dad would take me to get a haircut on Saturdays. Midway through one cut, the Barber Jim said...look at this to my Dad. A Tic had burrowed under the skin on the back of my neck. He had to 'lance' the skin to get it out...I was freaking out, as Everyone in the Barber watched from behind, haha.
Hahahahahahah classic
Permethrin is a life saver but that's the first I've heard of picaridin, thanks Allie
hieuhn99 we’ve treated a lot of our gear/clothing with the permethrin. My only concern is odor. I don’t know if it does or not.
Picaridin does have a slight odor.
I once had Lyme disease about 5 years ago. I thouth I was about to die and I paralized of my upper body but about a week and half later every symptoms was gone. Now I'm free and alive! I don't know why!!
My husband had it too and it was brutal. Glad to hear you're better now!
Survival Russia says to have folds in your clothes like socks, neck openings. He said they dont go backward and get caught in the folds.
Here in North Carolina we have been lucky so far with the tick problems ,the past few years were terrible
They are miserable in PA.
Grew up in Eastern nc.
My best insect defense is as follows.
Shorts
Wax myrtle
Beauty berry
Spit, water, or tallow
Extra t shirt
Yes, Sawyers! Best stuff out there! Yeah! Thanks Allie!
Sure is!
Excellent video! I swear by Permethrin. Lyme disease is no joke and if you suffer from an autoimmune disease, it's worse.
It helps a lot!
Great info! Up here in Canada our idiots at Health Canada are taking forever to approve Permethrin sprays. We just got one source of Permethrin treated clothing approved for sale this year and of course it sold out pretty quickly. Picaridin and DEET are the only defense for most people here, thankfully our colder climate means we have less ticks than more southern locations , but we still do have them , and the Lyme's disease that goes along with them
It has been a great tool for us!
Hey Scot, Piactive is what I use in Ontario. It’s pretty affective in my opinion.
Irish spring soap. I get bit a bunch unless i use it. You might grow an extra appendage but chicks will dig you.
I use sprays n believe it ....dog flea n tick collars around my boots. Don’t like to get sprays or lotions on me n my hands especially while fishing . HATE ticks n chiggers ......thanks for info , y’all have fun n be safe
Thanks David!
Tick collars on the boots.... Genius.
A red bandana around your neck 24/7 , apply drops of Rose Geranium oil (pelargonium capitatum x radens) once a week with prayers to the most high God whom we both love and fear.
I put geranium oil in a spray bottle with water and spray my lower body and the puppy before going in the woods. All natural works awesome
Thank you!! When you spay it on clothing... how many washes does it last for? Do we drench the socks or lightly spay them? Again, thank you. Afraid of ticks.
My wife and I live on a piece of Mississippi mixed hardwood forest.
Our driveway is over 1/4 mile into the forest.
We are always in an environment with biting bugs.
I do use the permethrin but do not use Deet products on my person.
I have become fairly successful at mixing natural oil products to find a good mix that works very effectively. I also use Gold Bond in my socks to keep chiggers off my feet.
Interesting. Thanks for the idea!
@@OutdoorsAllie ..... I mix eucalyptus, tea tree, peppermint, lemon oil and almond oil as a carrier agent.
Going head to head with my wife wearing deet (the 1st year), I was always better off than she. She actually switched.
@@elricofarmer1561 Interesting. Thanks for sharing Elrico!
@@elricofarmer1561I am so intrigued, could you pelase share the exact recipe? Thank you so much in avdance. I now live in woodlands and I am MORTIFIED
@@cryptolola9064 .... I don't know if I have a recipe to be honest! I just purchased essential oils and mix them together with a carrier agent.
I take garlic powder mix with warm water put in a spray bottle and spray clothes skin everything with no harsh chemicals works 100% never a tic when I use it others with me will have several on them and the smell only lasts a few minutes then goes away so no worries there
Great tips Allie, that's the first I've heard of Permethrin I'll be getting some. Everyone talks about Lime disease however that's not the only disease to worry about with tics. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is also deadly, a good friend and his wife both contracted it at the same. both spent weeks in the hospital and both almost died! It's not just confined to the Rocky Mountains this was in South Carolina.
Yep, they are nasty little creatures.
Powassan disease, very bad for the nervous system
I'm a firm believer in permethrin. Also, the low odor stuff like Sawyers, is undetectable by deer, or at least it doesn't spook them. One tip. If you get your gloves, mask, and hat as well as your socks pants and top, you'll keep mosquitoes off and in the early season, that's really important. Plus, no chiggers, which are horrible!
Absolutely. Thanks Mark!
What is a chigger?
Very good advice.
For additional clarity - DO NOT let wet permethrin touch your skin. It can affect the nervous system and is much more easily absorbed when wet. Similarly, do not apply to clothing that is close to your skin - hats, etc.
Dang Ticks
IDK but some say that Mosquitoes like type O-blood the best, that probably applies to ticks as well.
Allie, thanks for the great information! What about waders and wading boots? Is it bad to have in the water and will it stay on? I am often bushwhacking with this gear to get to streams and feel fairly protected, but always a bit paranoid!
Im not sure to be honest, but I wouldn't worry too much in the water.
I spray down my waders especially from the belt up, as well as a long sleeve shirt. I think as long as it’s good and dry it’s not a problem. I started using Sawyers permethrin after picking about 30 ticks off me one day- the stuff really works!
Similax sarrsparilla.
That's what rids the body from what the tick carries. Make tea. And detox.
I've done it myself
I totally soak my socks, pants, gaitors, underwear (I hike in a kilt) and shirts. I get the concentrate and mix up a 3 gallon mixture in a 5 gallon bucket , totally soak them, and then let them thouroughly dry before wearing. I spray Permethrin on my boots and use Lymeze gaitors for above my socks. Permethrin kills then very quickly and though I've done a lote of bushwhacking (Search and Rescue) , I've never had any ticks on me. If wearing long pants, I tuck the pant legs into my socks and my shirt into my pants. Ticks always crawl uphill (I've tested that with live ticks in a vial) so they will be dead before they get to bare skin. I use the Seresto collar on my dog cause she loves hiking with me and doesn't always stay on the trail.
The seresto collar seems to work well for us too.
That's why it is good to have hair on the body, you feel unwanted visitors crawling 👍🏽
Allie awesome video I do have a question I spend most of my time at my place in the mountains of tionesta I am outside all the time doing work I check myself for ticks so far I have never had one on me but I get bitten by spiders all the time I can feel the poison at times going up my arms would that help me thank you Ron
I'm not positive, but i'd have to imagine that its worth a try.
@@OutdoorsAllie thank you were do I buy it would it be in a sporting goods store
I have never been so sick as when I had Lymes. I still have some side effects after 3 years due to the hit on my immune system. I'm going to give this a shot. I can't go outside without coming back with a tick. Used to rarely bother me. Now I'm a magnet!
I would give it a shot. Definitely works when applied properly!
I hate them little punks. I have used sawyers for the last 3 years and have never had another one since. Good stuff. I posted a couple videos about this stuff as well.
It is good stuff!
Does it have any warnings for asthmatics?
Not that I'm aware of. I'd consult a doctor if that is something you are concerned about though. Thanks for watching Katie!
I'm in the UK where would I buy this stuff?
Amazon!
@@OutdoorsAllie It's not on Amazon UK but I got another brand instead, thanks
Got one last week. "Oh, time to re spray my clothes!"
Permethrin for hunting, deet the rest of the time. Picardin doesn't protect against ticks, it works okay for mosquitos.
Ticks have been horrible in Indiana this year!
Same with PA
I get it in a concentrate its a little cheaper.
Looking for non toxic uses for me and for dogs
Try Bodyguard spray it's all natural and works really well it's been around for a long time mostly for horses. I make mine homemade with just geranium essential oil and water in a spray bottle shake it real good, works great I just spray my lower body and try to do the same for the dog
A guy I know had spotted Ricky mt fever from one! Now he likes to wear a tick and flee colar around his boot, just one, and he never gets them on him now! I always have a couple kinda in and alot on me during spring bear, and not one this year, a couple on me but they were bad too. That could help too! Thanks.
Yikes. Thats rough.
Which brand? Thank you
Actually it is not a repellent. It actually kills the ticks. Works great. Alot better than deet products
Late to the game here, but I buy outdoors clothes from gamehide.com. They are treated with permethrin and it remains effective for 7 years or 70 washings. Way easier than applying Sawyers or other permethrin sprays every 6 weeks. And when I wear them, no ticks. Couple times processing a deer I’ll find a tick and set it on my gamehide shirt or pants, three seconds and it is lights out for the tick.
But I do use the spray for backpacks and other non-clothing gear.
Interesting. i'll check it out!
Alcohol is great for removing ticks, or anything with a lot of alcohol in. My dog got two tick bites and I removed them using hand sanitizer because I was out of actually alcohol and that has a high alcohol content which causes them to release their bite.
Thanks for the tip
I have heard some experts say that is not good as it can cause the tick to basically vomit toxins into wound. A tick key or tool is the proper method.
Heard the same. Anything chemical or traumatic to the tick can have them regurgitate into the bite, and increase disease risk. Best to pull them out with tweezers.
Great stuff. What was with all the arm movements? It was over the top. Ha ha
LOL oops
Outdoors Allie I thought it was great, just be you.
I like to go to the woods with people that I’ve heard complain a lot about being bitten. That way they’re being chewed on and the bugs don’t bother me.....😉😉
I like that idea! LOL
I also always tuck my pants into my boots
👏👏👏
Ticks are in Alaska and Hawaii? Yikes!
what do you reckon about soaking all my hiking clothes in a bucket of permethrin, including shirts and underwear?
That seems like overkill. A spray down as always worked for me!
I can't see the video enough to see spellings of the ingredients?
Wait. Original comment coulda been taken weird. Where is your favorite place to camp for a few days?
Jeez, hard question. Anywhere with good fly fishing access!
The reason it will break u out if u put it on ur skin is it kills skin mites like demodex or scabies and is the one of the treatments for them
Um found all over the world
Can you put the tick lotion on your face? I prefer something more natural you make yourself.
What do you do if a tic already bit me and entered my skin. Once I carefully remove it, then what?
Contact a doctor for their opinion.
