Developed a rash on my hands.

I believe its not a kill on contact bug spray.. I’ve heard anywhere from 5 minutes to 24 hours to actually kill the tick but, should be well before a tick has time to infect you. Usually 36-48 hours.

I’ll be honest permethrin doesn’t work well at for me. Very unimpressed. I think for it to be half way effective you have to soak your clothes, let air dry and likely soak again. Just a one time topical spraying doesn’t do crap. I’ve watched ticks crawl right up my pants an hour after spraying

You're doing something wrong.....

I agree with SD tick talk post. Wait until after July is over as ticks seem to dwindle in numbers or as he says find a place to go. I believe the reason is water becomes less prevalent and it forces them back. I know I will not access my property now until mid August to do food plots. Hope you're feeling better soon omi. That is scary stuff.

When I got it I didn't have a rash on my hands or feet but have heard several that did. The ticks I usually get in late summer are the 50-100 around my ankles that I have to use duct tape on

I’m not overly impressed with permethrin for ticks either I normally try and grab something with deet.
