Found this new product that supposedly repels biting insects (including the dreaded tick!) They offer free samples-I am going to try it...

Nope, I am not affiliated in any way-just thought I'd pass something that offers hope along... [Smile]

Product claims are not tick-specific, but from the web site testimonials:

"SSG J. Snell, 450th EN BDE, US Army
We distributed the Don't Bug Me! patch to more than 30 soldiers during our three-week stay in tick and chigger infested woods along the Arkansas River. Those who used the patch had NO bites despite the huge population of mosquitoes, chigger and ticks in the area. Those soldiers who chose not to wear the patch were chewed up!"

Thought a free sample was worth a try... if it keeps the skeeters off me, I'll be happy-they love me! Not sure how to test for effectiveness in the tick repellant department-I'm still putting off my yard work! [Frown]
