DEET, sprayed on your skin, will repel ticks from biting. It won't even stop them from crawling on you though.

The important thing with ticks is to always check for them and get them off asap. The sooner the better. My advice is to double check every itch to see if it's a tick that's causing it and shower and scrub down good every time you come in from being out when ticks are thick.

Also, since Earthing is such a salty old dog I think we should get him one of these earrings.
