The ticks are out in full force here already. Walked my dogs across the street in the park and had five crawling up my legs. This was low grass too. Just pulled one out of my butt cheek as well. Sneaky little bastards!

Ugh... I fcking hate ticks. Got lymes from a deer tick playing paintball a couple years ago.

:angry-screaming: Hate ticks!

was driving home from the range yesterday and found one crawling on my hand.

The guys from OnPoint Tactical recommend using a 10% permethrin solution for ticks:

You mix in 2 cap fulls with your laundry and it's good for about 8 washings. Apparently this stuff kills ticks and 'squitos on contact.

 

When you're doing the laundry, you must use rubber gloves to touch the clothes while they're wet, but once they're dry, the chemical becomes inert. Also, its not absorbed through skin once dry, so its safe.

what happens when you sweat and get the chemical wet again.. :shock:

you dont want to know....

 

it involves burning, scarring, loss of tactile feeling and an acute case of the runs.

 

But go ahead and try it.

Testicular shriveling, impotence, loss of libido and projectile vomiting. Just ask Matt for the details.
