Nope but now days you have to use the pyrethrin spray religiously.

I have two sets of 3-D clothes that I keep on the ready.

I even turn my pants inside out and treat, then next day spray the outer part.

Sounds like you got into deer ticks. How about Jackson?

Watch for Lyme symptoms. If you go to Doc. they will put you on antibiotic regimen.

You was probably helpin OMC look for his arrows when you got them.

I highly recommend boot blousing rubbers, and soak the boots with permithrin

Jim Eglen stopped by today and took one look at my legs and said "not chiggers, but turkey mites ! " Some of them turn into small blisters, and I must have North of 100 of them. Been searching the Net about them and one fix is taking a bath with head lice shampoo. Another says scratch the bite and put iodine on it. I'm fresh out of head lice shampoo so right now I'm trying the iodine. One things for certain, I won't forget the spray again.

Yep Go get the lice shampoo it DOES work, may take more than one dose.

I put it on and let it dry after the bath also.

Tim, the pharmacy in Brownstown next to JC is an apothacary. He makes a salve that looks like snot. It takes the itch right out....I have an Industrial sized jar

Well like I said I have no lice shampoo but done the iodine trick and it stopped itching in an hour. Supposedly once you scratch it and the put on the iodine it kills the little bugger. Best advice is to not get them in the first place.
