Whenever I read BWCA trip reports and see photos of folks in shorts and t-shirts I question if they are aware of the dangers of ticks and their unique infections.
Good article! Glad to see the positive news published. Never have I found a tick on me in the 9 yrs I've been canoeing in the BWCA. Always retreat my socks--heels and upwards, pants and LS shirts, before a trip. I even spray outside of my hat & baseball cap to discourage the skeeters too.

For your info-interesting article even if you know it already.

Ticks

I always said that. When you have permethrin clothes on the ticks walk like they are on stilts with legs stretched out likeit is hot to touch.

Ticks suck, both figuratively and literally.

I’m going to treat my clothes tomorrow afternoon. My moto is better living through chemicals.
