Don't believe everything you read on the Internet! :-) I remember blackberry picking with my sister when I was 6 years old. It was hot so we sat beneath a tree for some shade and ticks began dropping like crazy. She had a paper parasol which she put up and it truly sounded like rain. To answer Don's question about falling ticks, that's why I also treat my hat with attached neck cover with Permethrin. Works great to repel mosquitoes and deer flies also. 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/OT-Ticks-Chiggers-and-Mosquitoes-tp7460945p7461146.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
