Most of you know that I despise ticks (and chiggers). After losing a best friend to RMSF years ago, and currently watching another friend battle a serious tick borne disease, I just don't want them attached to me. We've discussed the use of permanone recently that REALLY helps in the battle with the little devil's spawn. Here is another GREAT tool in that battle:

I have used this bug skinz stuff or Rhynoskin during all of my spring turkey hunts and early season archery hunts for over 10 years. I also have it on when I am out there doing food plot/management work. Until it gets really hot, I don't even notice having it on. And, since wearing it, I haven't had to deal with a single tick or chigger in the area it covers as it truly is a bug proof barrier. It will get "picks" on briers, so it is much better as a base layer than outside. But, in hot weather, I have used the top as a single layer. Even in very hot weather I don't find it unbearable.

It looks like they have it on sale right now, so give it a thought. I like it enough that I just bought another set. The Bugskinz are a little heavier than the Rynoshins.

And, as LBL man has said in the turkey forum, this is used in addition to the permanone. If I'm using this base layer, I just spray rather than do the dipping deal with the permithin.
 
Perfect timing, I had ticks on me yesterday. Man I hate these things!

Man I just pulled a lone star tick off my armpit. Had been there at least a couple days, not sure why the itching didn't tip me off. Haven't had a tick bite since last summer, actually don't remember when I last had a tick bite. My camo pants and shirt have already been sprayed for turkey season so it shouldn't be a worry. never heard of the bugskinz.

It's the thin, tight fitting, nylon looking shirt I wear sometimes. Used to be camo, now it's faded one color. It works. Before permethrin I wouldn't go in the woods without the top and bottoms. I wore them under my leafy suit alot and under shorts alot during turkey season and early bow

the one and only "ImThere"

I get the wife to check me head to toe and all in my private areas.

If nothing else.mmaybe I will get so,e special attention out of the deal. LOL
 
Let me warn you take tick control serious. I got diagnosed with lyme disease about 3 weeks ago. I don't know when i contracted it.i have gotten ticks off of myself for years at different times.I started feeling terrible a majority of the time. That's when i knew something wasn't right. At different times all my joints hurt real bad. And i have real bad muscle pain's in every muscle especially my legs. And lack of energy like you wouldn't believe. On a good note iv'e been taking antibiotics for 3 weeks and i'm starting to feel better slowly. I have to take them for 45 days. I hope to knock it out with this round of antibiotics. If not then i have to get hooked up to IV for 2 weeks.I say if you hunt or fish like i'm sure everybody on here does. Then please go to your doctor and get tested. Its just a little blood work.The earlier you get detected the easier it is to get rid of.Thanks for reading god bless.
 
I've read somewhere that ticks climb up, not down. The article I read suggested somehow binding your pants legs and your shirt sleeves to keep these pest from crawling up your legs/arms. I now use some neoprene leg wraps that are typically used when duck hunting to keep your pants legs down when putting on your waders. On my arms, I put a couple of rubber bands on each sleeve and make sure they are tight enough to form a seal at your wrists.

The few times I did this, I didn't have any of these damnable pests on my torso. I had a couple on my head, but I found them before I left to go home. I'm also a huge believer in the Sawyer's product.
