Central Western VA Mountains | It’s February…
I had a guy out to the farm to look at doing some work, temp close to 60 degrees. Towards the end of our walk around, he saw a tick on his pants leg and just about went into a panic. He said - he had to leave the fields immediately.
Turns out he has Alfa Gal and another tick bite wasn’t a good thing.
He works outdoors and said now that he was seeing a tick(s), he would need to start treating his cloths with Permethrin. Said it repels the ticks.
Anyone using Permethrin on their out door cloths? Pants only or everything?
I get ticks on me almost every day on the farm during the spring and into the hot months. I’m thinking maybe I ought to be proactive and start treating my farm cloths (or buying pre-treated) to be proactive about tick bite prevention.
Permethrin - anyone treating their cloths with it? Is it effective?
Any sage advice is appreciated! |
