Several others on the board have posted up on this subject lately and I WAS following with some moderate interest since we all spend our fair share of time in the woods. Last weekend I spent some time up cutting and then left out to go to work on Sunday. Around Tuesday I started in with some aches and pains and by Thursday when I got home I was sure that I had the flu. After a few days with a 104 fever and some ripping headaches my dearest wife found the bulls eye on my back and drug me over to the hospital. Yup card carrying member of the “I got my A$$ kicked by a tick” Lymes club. Going to get my scripts filled this morning for the Doxycycline. I wonder if the government has any left over DDT stored up? Perhaps I could get 10,000 gallons or so cheap from them. The moral to the story is my PPE will now include a dose of DEET it seems a cheap way to raise the odds in your favor.
