Amen.  Time to get the permethrin out.  Buy it, or here's a link to previous post about it.

For real, I dug one out of my chest neck junction area two weeks ago. We had a couple days of moderating weather. Went for walk and picked it up some how. Snowing here now. Just happened to notice it when drying off after showering. So far no symptoms. Location Va. TN. KY. Junction.

I usually buy Sawyers and spray everything good.

Ordered some permethrin on Amazon and was going to spray my clothes today until I realized it was petroleum based... stopped at Academy and got some Sawyers. Too late though, picked a tick off after checking a cam this afternoon.

I was turkey hunting 2 years ago, walked across a pasture to get back to the truck. Three days later I have a burning sensitive area on the back of my arm. My arm had just about swollen around a deer tick. I finally got it out and threw it in bottle. I called my doc and told him I wanted docycillin and quick. At first he refused, 20 minutes later he had called in a prescription. He was teling me that after reading bout my symptoms that I was right to be proactive. I caught nothing but after reading about guys whose lives were ruined by ticks I was not taking any chances. I am a permithrin fan now. Turkey season starts on April 13th. My clothes will be covered the week before.

I've been using the Permethrin soak method and haven't seen a tick in 3 years.   I'm so confident in the stuff that I don't even think about ticks when I'm out.

Coming from a microbiologist. What they carry...you don`t want. From a scientific point of view, the most dangerous thing in the woods.

Assuming your want 0.5% final solution, which is what the commercial Sawyers is:
(36.8)(x)=(0.5%)(128oz)
(36.8)(x)=64
X=1.73 oz

If you want different concentration just change 0.5% in the equation to whatever final you want.
