Permethrin. Accept no substitute. It's on Amazon.

Same here. The permethrin hasn’t appeared to have hurt my hunting at all. I personally don’t care if it ever does cost me a deer or two now and then. I had Lyme Disease a few years ago. To make things worse I’m allergic to the top three antibiotics recommended to combat the disease. The long term effects suck and it’s an extremely miserable experience altogether. I do not want to ever experience that again!
I would also hate to have to give up eating mammalian meat if I ever were infected by a Lone Star tick.

A lady I renovate properties for got bit by a Lonestar and is now highly allergic to pork & beef..

She still eats chicken an turkey though.

I must admit that I'd be ticked off if I had to give up sausage ,bacon & stricolean :-(

Yes, not for direct skin contact...Will last until it is laundered.

No Stinkin' Bugs and Sawyer Maxi-Deet. A little bit of either goes a long way

The Sawyers Permethrin claims that it is good through several washings. I think that they claim 6.

I put on all outer clothing, gear, tarp, and on clothing that will touch my skin (but this I launder at least once). I also mix a little into the beeswax I treat all my leather with like hat, boots and belt.

That Sir is entirely possible, but I have over many years been a mighty meal for to many.
