[quote=Anonymous]I really like natrupel if you want to avoid ticks. Spray especially around the legs as they jump up from the grass. Permithen treat shoes, socks and pants or jackets for camping. If you’re really worried, hats or kerchiefs for hair. Best prevention is a tick check—they don’t really transmit disease if you get them off promptly. Finally, I will share this….a large youth group went camping. Many of the boys got ticks in their groin. None of the girls did. I question whether it was because the boys tend to wear looser shorts and then wear boxers underneath. My son, who was wearing tightie whities, did not get them. Very unscientific, I know, but if they are going to be sitting on the ground, think about the pants and underwear, as ticks like the groin/crotch. Picnic blankets are not a bad idea either. Tics can’t go very far—they lie in wait until they smell a warm blooded animal, and then jump. [/quote]
