today i saw a tick crawling up my hiking pole. I had permethrin sprayed on my pants, socks and boots so i wasn't too concerned but nope!spray permethrin on your poles too. mine have a foam grip that absorbs water so it can be soaked, otherwise wrap a treated cloth below the grip
You know how movie stunt men have those big flame retardant suits and that gel they wear when they need to be on fire for a scene? What if a just wore that and set myself on fire when I went on hikes? Would that help with ticks?

>>2873886>nothing of value lost
>>2873883Had one on my shirt in the gym. My clean clothes from my dresser into my truck into the gym and had a fucking tick on me. How?
>>2874050It could've gotten in from your car. Ticks can live a long time.
>>2873883Talk to your PCP and ask for a doxycycline prescription specifically to take after tick encounters to reduce the possibility of contracting lime disease.Adults need 200mg, children only need 100mg. Zero questions asked, he sent a prescription to my pharmacy for 60x 50mg capsulesThats way more than i need, personally, but my PCP also knows that I'll give it to people im with if they get bitten by a tickIf that doesn't work (they won't give it to you prematurely for tick encounters that havent happened yet), claim that you are homosexual and already get PrEP from another source, but you need an antibiodic because you are promiscuous and want to prevent other diseases besides AIDS; i dont think they can really refuse that oneI frequently hunt and go innawoods looking for mushrooms and mineshafts; i know what kind of pain in the ass ticks are
>>2874050>in the gym>How?people are filthy and gyms usually don't get cleaned as well as they should.
I went hiking with a friend a few months back in an area where I've never seen ticks before and right as we sat down to rest pretty deep into the canyon I looked to my left and saw ticks less than a foot from my face on the ends of some branches. Little niggers are everywhere now, and luckily I didn't find any on me when I got home.No joke anons, protect yourselves
>>2874050it's because you're misidentifying a bed bug as a tick
>>2873883>>2873883Does not seem to be a huge issue in Europe. It’s the Gates foundation waging war on the Americans.
>>2874224i was in Liechtenstein akshually
