[QUOTE="jlanecr500, post: 4646764, member: 16430"] PLEASE look at the item description again. It IS .5% Don't mix permethrin at 5%. It is not needed. If you soak your gear in a (.5) POINT FIVE percent mix, let them air dry, you can watch ticks fall off the dead. I got Lyme disease in 2013 turkey hunting and was forced to quit my life long hobby of dirtbike riding. I thought my days were numbered. Sold bikes and all. Since that time, my Lyme went mostly dormant....until June 9th of this year. I got back into riding this year and ended up with a tick bite that yielded Lyme disease. In the thousands of miles I've logged on 2 wheels in tight woods, I had never gotten a tick til this year. I knew I had it again within hours. It's like the bacteria got in and said "Is anybody home?" The dormant bacteria answered immediately and all those old symptoms came right back. Do use permethrin but DON'T mix it beyond a maximum of 1%. It is a nerve agent. Ticks are no joke. Trust me, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. The OTC creme used to treat scabies has 1% permethrin. We need a sticky on proper permethrin mix concentration. [/QUOTE]
