 I have a real need for a home made spray to keep those Danged ticks  off your person,,,!!! I got a recipe last year off the internet that you could spray on your shoes and pants and would keep em off.
 Three weeks ago, I had two ticks on me that were carrying one of the ailments that cause you to not be able to eat any meat from hoofed animals,,beef, pork,, any dairy products etc,,etc. Chicken or turkey or veggies are OK ,,tho. This causes welts that come out the skin and resemble small pimples that burn and hurt something terrible,,!!  They "mature" and finally go away after about a week but leave a scar. During all this they will hurt and itch like Crazy and require the stronger RX type of cream to control the itching and pain,,!!!
 I ffinally had to go see my PCP for help as was affecting my sleep with the terrible itching. Dr told me they were seeing lOTZ of patients with this malady in NWA,,so be aware of them ticks.
 Does anyone have a recipe for such a spray???  Thanks in advance.

I use about 20 drops of lemongrass oil and 20 drops of eucalyptus oil mixed with about 6 to 8 ounces of water in a small spray bottle when I'm mowing. Seems to work good!

According to Minnesota Department of Health recommendations, as reported by WCCO radio, permethrin is a highly effective, long-lasting product recommended for treating clothing and gear to repel and kill mosquitoes and ticks. This treatment lasts for several weeks and can withstand multiple washes. However, it's crucial to note that permethrin should only be applied to clothing, shoes, or camping gear and allowed to dry thoroughly; it should not be applied directly to the skin. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also advises wearing clothing treated with permethrin, as it maintains its protective quality even after multiple washes. This PRODUCT should not be applied to the skin

Order a product called “Nantucket Spider insect repellent “ works very well! It drives the buggers nuts!. Made of essential oils and you’ll smell like a candle shop. I keep a spray bottle in door pocket of all my trucks.
