Ticks...yet another disease :-(

Y’all really got to get on the shot of vinegar regimen. I started at the beginning of August, and have been in the woods at least 3 days a week the last two weeks. No ticks at all. I do spray my scouting clothes with Permethrin. Pickle juice works too. It’s a game changer. I’ve been doing this for years with successful results.

I take a shot of apple cider vinegar a day. I’ve used pickle juice, white vinegar, and malt vinegar before too. I take it at night before I go to bed, one shot or a big nasty gulp off the bottle. It takes about 2 weeks to work, and you will be tick free, and probably reflux free.

Permethrin is your friend. I treat all of my stuff with it. Don't buy the sawyers stuff, just buy JT Eaton bed bug spray. It's water-based permethrin.

I’ve been taking a shot of apple cider vinegar every morning for about 10 yrs for acid reflux reasons.

I also spend a lot of time in the woods and although I’ve had ticks crawling on me I can’t remember the last time I had one embedded. I went for a walk earlier this summer with my son, wife and mother. Everyone came back with 3-5 ticks embedded in them except me. It’s become the family joke that I taste too bad even for ticks.

I had never connected the two things until this thread. I can’t say for sure apple cider vinegar is the reason but it’s interesting.

There is a book out there that touts all the health benefits of drinking apple cider but if I remember correctly it stresses drinking a certain kind. I believe it's raw, unfiltered,
unpasteurized, organic.
My niece had the book and take this info with a grain of salt but it claims a PILE of benefits when you drink some every day.
I've tried to stick with it but a shot glass of straight vinegar, for me is like swallowing battery acid. It needs diluted in something.
Google apple cider vinegar and lots of stuff comes up.

yes to all of those things. It can be rough drinking it straight. I mix a teaspoon or two in with a powdered energy drink mix every morning. The drink mix tastes “funny” now if it doesn’t have ACV in it.

I don’t know about rice vinegar, but I promise you a bottle of apple cider vinegar is cheaper than a copay, and doxycycline. Not to mention you don’t itch for weeks on end.

I know people who mix it with OJ to. I’ve never tried it. To me it’s no worse than a swing of Jim Beam.

Braggs apple cider vinegar. Really amazing stuff.

https://rynoskin.com/ You might want to try this stuff. I bought some several years ago so I don't know if the newest stuff is woven the same way but the air goes right thru mine. It almost has a "cooling effect" where it's not covered by an outer layer but where there is an outer layer, it seems to be a decent base layer for insulation. Wear a button-down type shirt and when you start getting hot, unbutton the shirt and it almost seems like air conditioning in the front and acts like insulation where the outer layer covers it. Take off the outer layer and it's total body cooling. It will snag on briars so it's not durable for brush-busting. I especially like the Total Hood for warm weather hunting instead of a head net and I also like it as a base layer for under balaclava in color weather. Sometimes I will wear it alone while walking to/from stands and then slip on the balaclava after I cool down in the stand. It's so lightweight and thin that you won't even realize when it's stuffed in your pocket.
Like I said, I'm not sure if they've changed the material, or the weave since I bought mine so YMMV, but it almost reminds me of nylon stocking material.

I’ve invested in 3 suits of this. Never had a tick get though it and really helps with skeeters. 10/10 would recommend.
