Is there a more natural spray? I had a tick on me and the dr. had the medical assistant put a cream on my skin near the tick. When the dr. came in the tick had dislodged itself and I found it walking on my skin trying to get away from that area.
I have NO idea what that cream was!!! 😮 the dr said ticks don’t like it that’s why is dislodged and was dying as it was trying to escape.

Could just wear clothes that cover your skin. If soldiers can do it in the desert, surely anyone can do it on a nice hike.

Doesn’t alway work. Jeans, long sleeve, hiking boots, hat and neck cooling towel. Found one under my sock, two on my chest, one on my back and one on the back of my arm. Dog had none. He wore a flea and tick collar.
