¶Prevention tips
:
* "Wear hats when walking in the woods"
* "Don’t sit on logs – If you sit on a log for only five minutes, you have a 30% chance of getting a tick on you.
* "Tuck your pants into your socks"
* "Apply a tick repellent product on your shoes to create a powerful barrier."
* "Avoid coarse fabrics where ticks can easily fasten itself. Wear smoother fabrics instead."
* "When on hike trails, keep away from tall grass or undergrowth. Avoid brushing into bushy plants. Don’t let your hair hang loosely. Cover it or if long, have it braided or tied neatly."
* "Shower within two hours of coming indoors" (HOT!)
* "If the clothes require washing first, hot water is recommended. Cold and medium temperature water will not kill ticks effectively" :O
* probably a good idea to have separate "forest clothes" and wash them with separate stuff (like white vinegar and these oils)

¶Self-inspection
Every time you leave the forest / grassy areas:
* "Inspect your clothes and body, especially: Under the arms, around the ears, inside the belly button, back of knees and in your hair."
* "Ticks tend to bite humans in areas below the belt, most easily discovered while sitting on the toilet."

:
* but how about open parts (hands, face)?
* too warm?
* changing of clothes? ("zamenji majco")
* may be great for non-summer!
* "Wear clothing that covers the skin and has elastic on the wrist and ankles"

¶ * Permethrin
:
* is not (natural) pyrethrum !! (see below):
"Permethrin ("per-meth-rin"), on the other hand, is a synthetic, man-made insecticide, whose chemical structure is based on natural pyrethrum. The so-called pyrethroid insecticideswere developed to match or exceed the effectiveness of natural pyrethrum but be more stable in sunlight. Pyrethroid insecticides are used in agriculture because of their stability in sunlight."
* http://www.bugbewear.com/ :
"Insect Shield’s active ingredient, permethrin, is a synthetic version of a natural compound in chrysanthemum flowers, pyrethrum. Developed in 2002 to meet the needs of the US Army, this finish is now used on all Army troop uniforms."
* Ticks fall off + die within 60s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r38LNcCUwc4
* study details:
http://www.tickencounter.org/research/summer_clothing
"Regardless of the permethrin application method, subjects wearing outfits treated with permethrin received 3.36 times (odds ratio=0.298 with a 95%CI (0.221,0.401)) fewer tick bites than subjects wearing outfits with no repellent."
* "kills ticks on contact"
* "Results were consistent with past research; the treated clothing reduced tick bites by 83% in workers that spent a lot of time in prime tick habitat." (via http://www.wired.com/2014/05/repellent-clothing-protects-you-from-ticks/ )
* "You can purchase your own permethrin to make your own DIY-treated clothing, or one group offers a treatment service where they will treat your clothes by mail."
* "(Insect Shield, which produces its own line of insect-repellent apparel, will treat clothing for $8 to $10 an item.)"
* "Even when applied to the skin directly, it’s considered safe. It’s actually commonly used as a topical ointment to treat scabies, and it’s in the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines."

* some claim toxic?:
* (—SLO—) "Študije so pokazale, da je DEET povzročil umiranje nevronov na predelu možganov, ki nadzorujejo gibanje mišic, učenje, spomin in koncentracijo. Koža otrok še lažje absorbira snovi, zato imajo otroci še večje tveganje za spremembe v možganih po izpostavljenosti DEET-a."

* some say is a poisonous and bad pesticide (?) ... http://commonsensehome.com/natural-tick-repellents/
* percentage is important!:
(—SLO—) "Nekateri repelenti z 10-20% koncentracijo DEETa, so zelo učinkoviti in si jih nanesite po koži preden greste v naravo"
* "There are various DEET based products that are safe on human skin formulated to be absorbed less by the skin but provide extended protection. It may be applied on clothes too but some fabrics react to it."
* " DEET gives off a distinct odor and may damage plastic, rubber and vinyl. On the plus side, when used as directed, DEET is considered safe by many public health authorities and organizations"

0.5l + 10 drops of aromathic oils
anti-tick smelly stuff:
"""
Some of the essential oils you can safely use on dogs for flea and tick prevention are: lavender, lemon, citronella, sage/clary sage, bergamot, cedarwood, lemon eucalyptus, lemongrass, peppermint, geranium, sweet orange, and rosemary. Herbs – There are quite a few options that you can utilize herbally for your pets.

¶Where on your body to protect yourself?
"""
The most important areas to defend are your feet and ankles. “Your shoes are the primary interface with nymphs and larva, which crawl up from the leaf litter,” Mather explains. Apply permethrin and/or DEET to your shoes and socks and you’ll establish a powerful barrier against your Lilliputian foes. Adult ticks, on the other hand, will climb up on tall grass and low-lying bushes, allowing them to latch on at the calf or above. Wear treated pants and shorts to fend them off, and apply DEET to your legs if they’re exposed. For maximum protection, wear treated clothing from top to bottom.

"""
How to remove a tick
- Use clean, fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible.
- Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don’t twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you cannot remove the mouth easily with tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal.
- After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.
- Never crush a tick with your fingers. Dispose of a live tick by
- Putting it in alcohol,
- Placing it in a sealed bag/container,
- Wrapping it tightly in tape, or
- Flushing it down the toilet.
