Seriously!?   ...no more venison would be a real bummer for me!!

There's a much more immediate reason to do everything you can to avoid being bitten by a tick: Lyme disease.

I'd gladly trade my symptoms for an allergy to red meat.  It would take me exactly zero seconds to make that decision.  After four years of what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-me I'm finally on an antibiotic protocol that seems to be working.  I'm hoping to make a BW trip this September.  Last one was May 2016.

That' why I soak everything I can in Permethrin before a trip.

  Started doing just my clothes but now I do Dry-Fly and tent body. I fear a tick bite far worse than any possible damage from Permethrin especially with exposure mostly limited to 2-3 weeks a year.

  The red meat issue is just another incentive for those on the edge about using Permethrin.

:-? :o :'( ;D ;D ;D
