Wear Clothing Treated with Permethrin
Permethrin is the synthetic version of a chemical produced by the chrysanthemum flower. The chemical works as an insecticide, killing insects such as ticks and mosquitoes that come in contact with the clothing. According to the CDC, wearing this treated clothing is one of the most effective ways to avoid a tick bite.
Several companies sell clothing treated with permethrin, including L.L. Bean and ExOfficio.
