Oof, how do you even prevent ticks? I like to go hiking but I hate dealing with ticks.
You can’t really, right? Long sleeves? This is what they recommend in the article:
In order to prevent from getting bitten by a tick, it is recommended you use bug spray to repel the critters, and to cover up as much skin as possible when outdoors walking through the woods or long grass.
Stupid parasites… Last time I had to remove a tick from my SO, it wasn’t having any of it. Never had to use so much force to get it out. I guess the economy is bad for the ticks too! .
Permethrin treatment for clothes is probably the best option. It incapacitates ticks and prevents biting.
Couple that with picaridin and/or deet for extreme scenarios.
You can suffocate them with nail polish like chiggers
This made me imagine people hiking around in short shorts with stiff and shiny legs.
Tuck your pants into your socks, this makes it much harder for them to get to the skin. And if you wear lighter color pants they’ll be easier to spot so you can grab and incinerate the little shits.
You can probably also get some nexguard plus! Jk thats for animals. They really should get something like that for peoples too though.
