[quote=Anonymous]I don’t love deet, so I use picaridin on skin and permethrin treatments on clothing (one $15 bottle treats an outfit, lasts a few washings). While many of us worry about chemicals, tick-born diseases are far nastier. There are no plant-derived repellents that are anywhere near as effective as deet. Undress and screen for ticks after being outside. Even if one embeds, it’s far less likely to make a person sick when removed within a couple of hours.[/quote]
