What is the best Tick repellent?

The really good stuf is permethrin arthropod repellent if you can find it. You spray it on your clothes and it has to dry before you wear them - very potent. Another trick that works well - ticks cant stand carbon monoxide - if we were in a really bad place for ticks and had nothing else we would take a hose and put over the exhaust pipe of your vehicle and put it on the legs of your pants,socks and shoes. If you do find the spray mentioned above be careful with it and use it like the instructions say. Have fun.

Honestly on the web you won't find a really great one.  You have to go to like mensa to take the most accurate one.  Tickletest has a intersting one though.

any over the counter decongestant... Pseudophed is the best, I think...      When my son's ear would get clogged the pharmacist told me to put a cap full of peroxide in it... let it bubble then flush warm water in it while holding you head, ear facing down, over the sink using a ear dropper....   All stuff you can get at a local drugstore...\n\nfeel better

Tick Removal Procedure:\n\n1) Use fine-point tweezers to grasp the tick at the place of attachment, as close to the skin as possible. \n \n2) Gently pull the tick straight out. \n3) Place the tick in a small vial labeled with the victim's name, address and the date. \n4) Wash your hands, disinfect the tweezers and bite site. \n5) Mark your calendar with the victim's name, place of tick attachment on the body, and general health at the time. \n6) Call your doctor to determine if treatment is warranted. \n7) Watch the tick-bite site and your general health for signs or symptoms of a tick-borne illness. Make sure you mark any changes in your health status on your calendar. \n8) If possible, have the tick identified/tested by a lab, your local health department, or veterinarian. \nIf the mouthparts break off in the skin - should I dig them out?\n\nWe have heard two competing opinions about this.\n\nOne viewpoint states that the mouthparts can cause a secondary infection, and should be removed as if it was a splinter.\n\nAnother viewpoint was shared with us by a pediatrician in a hyperendemic area. He states that parents can do more harm by trying to hold down a child and dig out the mouthparts with a needle. He instructs his families to leave the mouthparts, and that they will come out on their own as the skin sloughs off.\n\nCAUTIONS:\n\nChildren should be taught to seek adult help for tick removal. \nIf you must remove the tick with your fingers, use a tissue or leaf to avoid contact with infected tick fluids. \nDo not prick, crush or burn the tick as it may release infected fluids or tissue. \nDo not try to smother the tick (e.g. petroleum jelly, nail polish) as the tick has enough oxygen to complete the feeding.

Tea Tree Oil is the best solution. I worked in a hair salon and we were not allowed to work on anyone with head lice. I would tell people to go to the health store and purchase a bottle of tea tree oil and put a cap full of it in whatever bottle of shampoo they chose and also in their conditioner. you can also put it in a spray bottle. It smells very strong but I never had trouble again when I discovered this.Customers would return after using this product and be so grateful and amazed.

Heal with oatmeal. "Oatmeal baths made from powders such as Aveeno provide effective but temporary relief from the itching of eczema and dermatitis\nRelieve the itch with ice. An ice pack made by putting ice cubes in a plastic bag and placing it on the itchy area makes an inexpensive and effective itch fighter\nPour some cold milk onto a gauze pad or thin piece of cotton and apply it to the skin for about three minutes. Resoak the cloth and reapply at least two more times for three-minute soaks. Repeat several times a day, but make sure to rinse your skin in cool water after each application, because the milk will smell.\nAvoid most antiperspirants. The active "drying" ingredients found in most antiperspirants-aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate and zirconium chlorohydrates-are too irritating to those with dry, sensitive skin.\nKeep nails short and clean\nHumidify your surroundings recommend either buying a cold-air humidifier or placing shallow pans of water near radiators and on wood stoves to add humidity\nShowers should last about three minutes-and no longer than five minutes because longer shower will make dryness worse.And use only your fingertips to wash--not washcloths or sponges--and then pat yourself dry\nDon't forget your emollients\nWise to double-rinse your laundry to make sure the detergent rinses out and won't come in contact with your skin\nDon't use dryer sheets because some of the chemicals in fabric-softening dryer sheets remain on the skin and can be irritating to people with eczema\nDon't be a fool if you use a pool.(chlorine)\nBuy American when it comes to cosmetics. The general rule is, avoid cosmetics if you're bothered by eczema or dermatitis. But if you must wear them, buy American. That's because some cosmetics made in Japan, Italy, France and other foreign countries contain formaldehyde, which can cause allergic dermatitis in many people.\nIf you are feeling stressed out or are particularly worried about something, it will only aggravate your condition.\n\nHere are some other things that you should avoid if you're prone to eczema.:\n1.Baby lotions\n2.Colored toilet paper and tissues\n3.Stuffed animals, fuzzy and furry toys and pillows can bother those with sensitive skin\n4.Real animals\n5.Fake fingernails\n6.Live Christmas trees\n7.Quick changes in air temperature\n8.Metallic jewelry: If you're prone to nickel allergies--the most common form of contact dermatitis--then avoid watchbands, earrings and jewelry that cause a skin reaction. Buying earrings? Look for earring posts that are stainless steel.

I would use Aveno products for topical releif, and perhaps some oral benedryl for itching. I would also wear socks to bed on my hands so you don't itch and irritate while sleeping. Finally should it become infected, I would immediately go to the DR....mom of 2
