my outfit is a very thin material pants n shirt that i wear over my clothes when in the woods bushwhacking or not n places i suspect ill be bitten by those vampires. btw permethrin also takes care of those black flys too... another blood sucking pest thats just very visious n anoying. their bites dont heal fast n itch like crazy! thats why im a winter backpacker/ camper. i hate bugggggzzzzzzzz
if you think youve been bitten or have been bitten, try to save the tic for analysis, the doc will put you on antibiotics. but be sure to see the doc asap!... dont wait!
