good stuff, just picked some more up along with some thermocell refills. Turkey season starts tomorrow. My father has had rocky mountain spotted fever, and we are seeing more and more of folks down here getting the one that gives you meat allergies. That would suck. I had to go to the emergency room once from a tick bite after something become very swollen. I was walked proud for a week.

LOL, joey, I know there are ticks here, never said there weren't.
Fact is, I've never seen one here, including on two dogs that have come and gone. You want to tell me different?
Great detective skills though, you rock dude. The "nymph" stage of most ticks are so small they are very difficult to detect. THAT could be why you have never detected them. Their tiny size belies their danger *IF* they are carrying disease. Right. I'm sure that over the twenty years I had dogs running all over the place without flea collars or powder, all the nymph-stage ticks that got on 'em just died and never grew up. Yo, genius...you wake up needing to study up on numerous subjects. Study up and c'mon, back.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.
Pronoun: Yes, SIR !

There are at least 1000 research papers that can be obtained at no cost with a little searching.
Yeah, and if I'd ever seen a tick in my 22 years here, they'd be worth searching for.

We are loaded with ticks in my area and ever since I started using Sawyer’s around 7-8 years ago I have never found a tick on my skin since.

No, just one who ain't seen a tick in over 20 years and therefore don't give two sh*ts about em. But keep on posting links, it's fascinating.

RMSF ain’t no joke, but it pales in comparison to the alpha gal allergy caused by ticks. Imagine spending the rest of your life unable to eat any mammalian meat whatsoever. One burger and you get go into shock and take an epi pen and an ambulance ride (if you are lucky). Fish and chicken for the rest of your life. I had RMSF but my father had the alpha gal allergy. Bad stuff.

Yes, one of my neighbors in Oklahoma contracted RMSF, it was pretty bad on her. She's probably still recovering years later. Fortunately I don't get any on me there very often, or even see them very often. I think the fire ants help keep them down. Burning helps too. None up here in AK, other stuff, but no damn ticks, at least that seem to get on people. I guess there some that get on squirrels and hares, but I've never had the pleasure of seeing one.

Ticks and chiggers are really bad here. I treat clothes with Permanone. It comes in an aerosol can and is sold at most farm stores here.Amazon sells it.
It is permethrin made for spraying on clothes. Sawyers is permanone.
It is the best tick repellent anyone knows of here. All the farmers in the hills treat their clothes with it. It isn't absolutely reliable but it works better than mosquito repellents.

Alaska is fortunate in that regard...so far: https://dec.alaska.gov/eh/vet/ticks/

Yeah, Permanone is a trade name for the chemicals of Permethrin. https://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/risk/rcd/permet_s3.pdf

Was out working in central Kansas last weekend and had numerous ticks crawling around on me and inside the truck cab. Brought back fond memories of MO ticks, well not really. Gonna try that Sawyer stuff for sure. And if the dogs tag along, guess they'll need some collars for first time ever. At least no chiggers encountered.

Since then haven't found a tick on him. Dose him once a month. I'd suggest that over a collar.

Another bit of pest advice;
If you just put “Sheriff Joe” on ignore you can avoid a LOT of ignorant, time wasting drivel.
His mental ward should really limit his internet access

I use Sawyer’s and find it very effective.
