    I used to use sulfur powder in a tied off sock. Pat down with it before going into the woods. Especially around my junk. It was benign and seemed to help. Now, I use DEET on my skin and shoes/boots, Permethrin on my clothes.

    Cheeha had them bad, we would put Seven dust in a cotton sock and tie it off. Like a pitchers Rosen bag.
    Keep the filled sock in a coffee container and keep in your truck. Pat yourself all over or wherever you want.

    After being exposed to them take a bath with 4-6 cups of chlorox in the water. Thank me later. Works every time although you will feel a little slick when you get out.
    Become one with nature then marinate it.

    exactly, once warm weather hits they seem to be on my ankles til christmas. I get them before putting tall boots on, standing around talking with other people at the club in low top shoes, I can feel them biting me. I just got used to it, hardly even scratch them anymore, that seems to make them itch more
