I was out climbing in the woods last week and after coming home I went to take a shower and Lone Star tick had latched on to me in the waistband area. I had sprayed my socks, lower pant legs and boots, but already had my gear on and didn’t want to spray OFF on my gear so I skipped the waistband. Next day I found another on my leg that I know was not there the previous day, so I don’t know where that one came from.
Went out climbing again today and sprayed down all the openings in my clothes. When I got back to the truck I checked my pants legs and found three ticks on my pant legs. One is clearly a Lone Star tick and the other two look like deer ticks, which can carry Lyme disease.
So if you are going out in the woods, makes sure you are spraying down, closing clothes openings as much as possible, shower as soon as you get home, and do a full body scan. If you put your clothes in the dryer and run it, it will kill any ticks that may be on your clothes. Good luck and stay safe!
