I was undiagnosed and misdiagnosed for years until I did much research on different illnesses and asked my doctor to test for lyme. He did and my test came back positive. I know so many of us have this story. I now have a new bullseye rash but never saw the tick. Has anyone else had this experience and what did you do? It seems I am a person who bugs love. I am very clean. My cat has been treated for flees and ticks yet I may have picked it up from him or outdoors. I am "Tick Magnet"

GARLIC keeps the TICKS away!

Might as well start now.

"According to the researchers "There was significant reduction in tick bites when consuming garlic compared with placebo," and that "our results suggest that garlic may be considered as a tick repellent for individuals and populations at high risk for tick bite, rather than other agents that might have more adverse effects."

Journal of The American Medical Association August 16, 2000; 284."

Garlic didnt repel a tick from me niether did bananas,fennel,orageno,basal,I even went so far to rub gas oil mix for power saws on me alot of loggers dont get bit I thought maybe that was it but now I think its the chainsaws exspelling carbon monoxide maybe ticks cant tell which too bite

Deet is only good for skeeters I had enough deet on me when I was younger lips went numb.

Skinsosoft mixed with oil of clove,vineger,water and some other oil cant remember ?camphor? and rubbing alcohol 90% or 70% this worked well but only 2 hrs at a time so you have to refresh alot and it stinks But repels well and if you like soft skin happy camper

Permetherin sprayed on clothing and dryed works well but do not under any circumstance get on skin or inhale its just as toxic to you as it is to the ticks.Kills central nervouse system neuro toxin if I remember right. You should see what it does to a tick when you set him on a paper towel sprayed with it whoooooa neat
