Our kid got bit by a tick. Was lucky enough that it had the bulls eye pattern and was able to look it up. She got a crazy high temperature. Was crazy. A strong antibiotic cleared it up.
I really wish there still was a vaccine available (for humans). I treat my pant legs and jacket sleeves with permethrin, which slowly kills the ticks - but does so usually before they would attempt to bite. One of the better camping tricks that I've applied to everyday life.
- Loughla 1y agoDuct tape inside out at the top of your socks under your pants does wonders as well. We couldn't find permethrin during COVID, so we did that. It worked mostly. The big bastards didn't get stuck, but they're easy to see. It was the little deer and seed ticks that got stuck. So that's a win.
