>>2579162I fucking hate ticks, I avoid tall grass like the plague every summer and have ever since I was a kid. It's not even necessarily lyme disease that bothers me (though I do worry about it even if worrying about it is kind of silly), it's just the thought that these things are crawling all over my body and burying their faces into my skin. If I see one tick on myself, I spend the rest of the day paranoid that every minor itch or tickling feeling is another one crawling around, and I never feel 100% sure that I've gotten rid of all of them even if I strip naked and check my entire body.
>>2579177>DEETI can spray myself with half a can of Off Deep Woods and still have ticks, so I don't think DEET is very effective.
>PicaridinI don't think I've tried this before, I'll look for some this summer.
>PermethrinI don't want to kill my cats or my friends' cats, otherwise I'd just soak all my clothes in it.
