Alright, so this is a big topic in the MSM right now. Alpha gal etc. Those that have been fishing, have you come across many ticks along our streams?

It is that time, do not take chances. I had Lyme and use this, permethrin, on clothing only, year round, kills them instantly. You do not want the bulls eye.

I had one of the fookers on my ankle, I was lax spraying my fishing clothes with permethrin and I picked him up when I was scouting a spot. So far no rash or bullseye, it's been a week and change. I have the little sob in a plastic ziplock just in case.

IF you have a deer tick on you go to the medi center and get the mega dose of doxycyclene. If you take it quickly it will prevent lymes. I had it about 10 years ago and was told this by the infectious disease doc. Just and FYI, once you take the meds if you have it you will test positive for it for some time after.
