Ticks are now ubiquitous! We recommend using tick repellant. We have found “Sawyer Permethrin” clothing spray to be very effective at keeping ticks off. You apply it to your clothes (waist down) and let it dry before putting your clothes on. It is available at most camping, outdoor and “big box” stores.
