I don't like to wear long pants, but the threat of encountering ticks on my legs in New Hampshire and Maine is apparently a real possibility this year. I've treated all my clothes with permethrin, but am still concerned with bare legs.
My wife recently developed a rash on her back, and had a Dermtaologist examine her. The doctor said it could be a mite of some sort, and prescribed a cream that contains 5% Permethrin. She only used half the tube so I'm going to take it along for my New Hampshire/Maine section.
