>>2312278This is a candidate for the dumbest post I've ever read on this board and that's saying a lot.
Let's see. Who should I believe? Experts on tick prevention who unanimously recommend wearing long pants to keep ticks away from exposed skin? Or another retarded wannabe know-it-all from 4chan who not only doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about, but also downplays the severity of Lyme Disease and other tick-borne illnesses.
>A tick is gonna get on you regardlessFalse. I've probably spent more days and nights in tick-infested backcountry areas than anyone on this board and have never had a tick attach itself to me, my clothes or my gear. It can't be pure luck after hundreds and hundreds of outings. Am I completely immune to ticks? Of course not, but I can take basic precautions to minimize risk. One of those precautions is wearing longer pants and sometimes tucking them into my socks.
>Just stay inside broYou sound like a complete dumbass. The threat of ticks won't keep me indoors, but I'd be a fool to not take any precautions whatsoever.
