Another good reason to treat clothes for ticks

Another good reason to use Permethrin.
New tick-borne illness is deadlier than Lyme disease
Armand Desormeaux, of Hampton, NJ, was an active 80-year-old—until he developed a fever in early May 2019. Then he began to experience tremors and was unable to verbalize. Desormeaux died in the hospital 10 days later. What caused such a tragic condition in an otherwise healthy man? It was an uncommon virus from the bite of a tiny tick, the New Jersey Department of Health confirmed.

Yup! I always give all my woods apparel a real good spraying.

Yup ticks are no joke. In my neck of the woods sawyers permethrin is an absolute must.

I got a tick 3 years back. Didn't find it and didn't catch it in time. My body stopped producing some antibody I needed. Long story short I ended up 120 miles from home in the U of Penn ER via rotary ring due to massive swelling of the brain. They initially thought I had a stroke(30 at the time) and they tested me daily for different stuff. Turned out it was from something ticks carry.

I hate needles. Had infusions daily after that for 6 months. I know now treat all my clothes with permethrin, not just hunting clothes.

Yes I think I will start treating my clothes that I wear when I go trail walking too.

Yep, I treat my wife's & my clothes that we wear hiking. I also treat our cloth suitcases when we stay at a hotel to help stop any crawly critters....don't need to bring any of them home.

Never thought about spraying our luggage. Great idea

Without question, THE most dangerous thing in the woods.

If I went to the doctors office every time I got bit by a tick I wouldn't have much free time. And they all leave a welt. That being said I would certainly apply Permethin to all outdoor clothing. I haven't went turkey hunting without it in many years. It keeps chiggers off as well.

It's everyones own call. I respect that. Being in the health care profession and dealing with this stuff I see way to many people that wait too long. Just trying to be helpful.
