I live in an area infested with ticks. Going out with into fields/woods with no protection means pulling dozens at a minimum, though my neighbor pulled over 100 off a couple weeks ago.
My solution is elastic gaiters and using permetharin as bug spray. I don’t get ticks anymore.
I’m also kind of allergic to ticks, and if I get bit, it itches so bad for about two weeks that topical lidocaine is the only way I’ve found to get some relief.
