I’ve purchased a bunch of pants and shirts from InsectShield for when I’m out in the grass, brush etc. It’s permanently treated with permethrin and quite effective. A number of the military academies and camps started using InsectShield after having thousands of cases of Lymes at various military facilities each year, and their cases dropped to near zero with this clothing. https://www.insectshield.com/ (Did I mention I hate ticks too?
