Went for a simple hike and bushwhack was was left with at least four confirmed tick bites and 3 other bites that look suspicious. So far no Lyme disease. I will be holding off bushwhacking Vancouver Island for a while and if I do I will flood myself with insect repellent next time. Great view on top though!

Saw the depths of despair. Now I am salvaging what time I have left on Earth.

We had a family reunion years ago a bit south of Hermiston, Oregon and I went for several hikes up into the big hill surrounding the hunting cabin. It was late spring and there was foot high grass. I ended up with nearly a dozen ticks on me and one burrowed into my neck in the back. My relatives began referring to me as "The Tick Magnet".
Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

I'm heading to NE Washington next week, followed by a jaunt to the Chief Joseph Wildlife Area near the Snake & Grande Ronde. I permethrined the hell out of my clothes and gear in anticipation of ticks.

I would take my clothes of an go to bed, wake up and there were ticks crawling on my clothes, the place was lousy with them.
I suppose Permethrin would would work to help repel ticks but ime it does nothing against mozzies, nats, etc.
