Default RE: anybody know of a good deer tick repellant ??

The DEET for me works great here in Arkansas,29% or 30% DEET is what I use, you need to take a shower as soon as you get out of the woods and wash off the DEET. I use the Repel brand......


Now if you got the TICK stuck on you in anyway you shouldnt burn the tick off, The best way that I have found to get the Ticks off is drip or pour I dont care RUBBING ACOHOL on the tick before pulling him off the, this makes the tick sleepy or suddated and then the easly pull out!!!!!!!!!!!!Try it

If the tick has Lyme Disease and you go pulling the tick off with out using the Achohol the he can inject the desease into you, they kinda like puke it in because of the sudden squeeze or jerk you are doing to them!!!!!

So use the Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol, then wait a 5-6 seconds and then pull them off...
