[MR] Tick bites and disease

[David Chessler]

One of the links I sent was an outdoor store. In season Walmart stocks
permethrin, as does my local hardware store in the garden supply section.

When my daughter went to Africa we mixed full-strength permethrin and soaked
her clothing. This will last up to a year. 

For mosquitoes, soaking a bed-net in permethrin is the prevention most
recommended in the malarial regions.
