[QUOTE="Fran, post: 279240, member: 3"] Just so you know, the ticks here tend not to be the Lyme disease carrying type ticks. husband had one that looked infected and inflamed and worried about Lyme. His doctor assured him that it wasn't Lyme. I do spray cutter on my shoes and pant legs Loth. I wear a hat to keep them from ending up in my hair and neck but it's pretty hot here. It's tough to stay outside in that get up for any length of time. I really hate that spray stuff on my skin. They climb until they find a soft spot to latch on like the back of my knees(several) my arm pit, inner thigh.(thank goodness for underwear) hip area, neck and upper, inner arm. The dogs get them on their snout or legs but their are so thick furred(like wooly sheep) that if you are observant on your walks you can knock them off before they latch on to the skin. Chiggers are getting me again all along my underwear and bra line. They are itchy buggers. I have to believe if all the park rangers,farmer and working people outside survive ticks and chiggers so will I. I love the natural setting I live in but I have to endure this for a few months of the year but I am cautious. I wish it wasn't like that but you have to take the bad with the good. I am going to try the alcohol drowning to see if it works. I know that the hot match does not work and experts encourage people to not use it. [/QUOTE]
