Permethrin is very effective. I keep a pair of "woods pants" that I treat with the Sawyer spray, re-treating a couple times over the summer. Wash them as little as possible. I've caught a couple ticks on me with the treated pants but nothing compared to the dozen I will get without them.

Picaridin is the only spray repellent I've found that has any effect on ticks. It's pretty good but expensive. I get the lotion and use it on my waistline, sock line, and my neck area for any ticks that are waiting on high brush.

Word of warning: wet permethrin is toxic to cats, so don't treat clothing around kitties if you have any. It's fine when it's dry.

Any Doctor or urgent care place should give you a prescription for antibiotics if you report a tick bite, but you shouldn't do this just because you find one latched on. If you're doing regular tick checks, you should know if a tick has been on you for less than a day. Check your entire body every time you go out in nature and you'll never need the doxycycline. However you can get a script pretty easily in case of any mistakes.

Sounds perfect for trying to bathe a toddler too. Much better than the door hose.

I'm not sure that's my aesthetic but hey, definitely would put restaurant kitchen counters and sinks in if I found them for a good price.

Now if you said Taco Bell...

Near Henniker but outside town.

Hahaha you know, in college I would outfit my apartment with whatever the freshmen threw away. Definitely not opposed to dumpsters if I happen to see one that looks juicy.

I'm not in a city so options have been limited unless I wanna drive an hour+ to figure out that a door isn't the right dimensions :(

Right by Henniker! Closest city is Concord, if that helps

Nope, nor the Pilgrim incest cult, nor the Mothershead cow dynasty sadly.

Are there any good mushroom finding clubs in NH? Would be nice to go for a walk with some fellow mushroom enthusiasts next year.
