InsectShield will also treat your clothes by the piece or you can fill a bag. I live in treated clothes and shoes now (and tuck pants into socks)- really helps!
We just sent our first bag in! I asked them for a discount code for my readers because I think its such a low-lift way to ensure you're protected. Glad to hear it's working for you too!
I use 99% deet and so do most backpackers. 30% is fine but you can use higher concentrations that are also safe and easier to pack light in a tiny spray bottle. This is such a comprehensive summary of all the important ways to steer clear of ticks and tick borne illnesses. Thanks for putting it all together!
Thanks, Lis, for this excellent guide. I’ll keep it handy, and will be sure to share it with our summer visitors. I especially appreciate the info regarding safeguarding little kids.
