So what do you do now to avoid ticks?im done with the canned chemicals.
As someone who works on forested lands, I used to treat my clothes with pemethrin according to label. Then I got lazy and just sprayed it on my clothes right before hitting the woods. It finally hit me one day, I spray all this cancer juice on me and I am still tore up with seed ticks, ticks that have caused me to contract RMSF, big ones small ones, red bugs, and whatever else causes these weeping welts. I decided a while back im done with the canned chemicals. I spray petroleum based paint, industrial application of glyphosate, and inhale smoke for a living so if I can eliminate exposure, I will.

I don't want to jinx myself, but since I've been using permethrin I don't remember finding a tick on me and I spend a lot of time in the woods(I live in the woods lol) ......As someone who works on forested lands, I used to treat my clothes with pemethrin according to label.

Glad the PMETH works for you. I have heard something about blood types as well. I can go flip a burger on my grill and be ate up with mosquitoes but my wife can eat the burger out side and have no problem. Same with ticks. Maybe they just love my awesome blood. Has anyone heard that this parasitic insects prefer blood types can hone in on one they like?

This for mosquitoes in my wife’s case. She gets about 5x the number of bites I do regardless of preventative measures.Yes I’ve heard that. They love my - blood type. If I walk in with someone they sometimes end up helping me swat the bugs off me. They have 1 maybe 2 mosquitoes by them and I look like a walking wall of mosquitoes. I’m a blood sucking magnet!!!

Mosquitos definitely prefer some people over others. And it can change. When I was younger they preferred me. But for the last decade or more they haven’t bothered me too much. I’m not sure what the attraction is based on.Has anyone heard that this parasitic insects prefer blood types can hone in on one they like?
