[QUOTE="tdv75098, post: 141859, member: 2757"] The best way to prevent ticks and chiggers is to go to the drug store and buy some sulphur powder. Then pour it into an old athletic sock and tie it closed (store it in a used bread sack). When you get to the field, take the sock and beat it all over your legs (with your pants down) to include your crotch and then all over your torso. After applying the sulphur, use Deet spray and spray it heavily around your socks and your waist and any other clothing opening. Years in the military training in South Texas taught me well. Remember the worse you stink, the less bugs you will have. After you get chiggers, soak in a swimming pool or a bathtub for a long time, then apply hydrocortisone cream to the affected areas to heal them and stop more itching. If the tick bites develop a bullseye around them, see your Dr immediately. I have also suffered greatly from tick fever! It still affects my joints to this day. Good luck in the future. Tom [/QUOTE]
