My love of the outdoors is almost outweighed by my hatred of these fuckers. I never want to see another tick in my life. What's the best prevention? I've never used bug spray, is there any kind of spray that actually works and isn't toxic as shit? Is it better to have [spoiler:lit] body hair on your legs [/spoiler:lit] as a last line of defense? General bug strategy thread.

I don't really mind ants or wasps or other critters but ticks and mosquitos make me want to set the woods on fire.
