How do you guys deal with these disgusting plague balloons? They're fucking everywhere, and too small to see latching on to you when you're walking through the bush.

>wear a hat to keep them out of your hair
>wear light-colored clothes, or at least pants (may have some benefit in repelling them, definitely makes it easier to see them on you)
>if you will be spending a lot of time in tall grass, use a DEET or Picaridin based bug spray around your ankles (either blouse your pants into your boots or pull your cuffs up and spray your socks with the bug spray)
>shower when you're done
>check yourself, including/especially around your asshole and balls and the backs of your knees.

Garlic. Eat it. Where do you think the myth that garlic repels blood-suckers comes from? Because it repels blood-suckers.

wear white lightweight tropical pants soaked in a permethrin insecticide solution.
Then tuck the pants into your socks, and spray your legs with deet insect repellent.

It's not the only way these things can blight you with. Alpha-gal allergy is a carnivore's nightmare, and I think this is triggered just with their saliva.
