Ticks are bad but listen to shump.I don't go in the woods without spraying down with permanone.The ticks crawl on you but they're dead within a few minutes.Last wed I was helping a buddy track a deer and I had several on me.After a little while,they all just fell off.Years ago,I actually stopped hgunting some of my favorite spots because of ticks.I discovered permanone and since then,I've never had a tick actually get on my skin.Now those creepy little deer keds,they're another story.They can fly and they land on my neck all the time.
