As some of you know I have always been into healing techniques as well as an inventor.
The subject of tick bourn illnesses have come to the forefront as in our pursuit of our hobbies we are in direct contact with the tick.
Having developed and tested to a nearly 100% effectiveness rate of a tick not biting the treated skin I will share this with you folks .
I am currently making a 2 gallon batch of this as I type this out and just thought to myself that I had yet to share this with you folks.
Let me say this is not rocket science so don't get worked up on exact measurements, it's not critical just get close.
Ingredients:
1 quart Coconut oil.
1 cup of ghee ( optional due to some Alpha gal allergies) but it is great to draw more of the capsaicin out of the pepper as well as it thickens the product in warmer weather.
4 Tbls cayenne pepper.
25 whole cloves ground up.
Place in pot , bring to a slow boil , turn heat down to lowest settings place lid on pot let it barely boil for 1 to 2 hours.
Strain mixture to remove particulates using paper towels 2 to 3 times gets the sediment out .
Place liquid into blender and blend for 1 minute, pour up into jars and allow to cool.
Rub over skin from head to toe then put clothes on .
This is exactly the same thing that Icy Hot is made from and works on sore muscles as well .
When applying this will have a warming sensation but it is 100 percent at keeping the ticks off of one's body.
Regards Nick |

| we certainly can use that type of stuff here - capital of the Tick world !! A Facebook thing a while back suggested that a type of Tick was being developed that would make you allergic to eating Beef ! Maybe hype , maybe not , but that would be one I'd rather stay away from . All the more reason to use repellent . |

Bill the Alpha gal is an allergic reaction to the suger that is attached to the protein molecules of red meat.
We all have a hunch that it's not exactly from the tick itself but the contamination of the foods that we consume from industry and that the tick is simply the catalyst that activates the process.
Jeanne and I rarely eat anything that we don't grow , hunt or fish we catch, once in a great while we might eat out and $50 a month grocery bill consist of Chocolate.
Some good results on treating Alpha gal have been documented but it's not 100% by a long stretch.
Be safe keep the ticks and chiggers off best one can .
Best regards Nick |

| I spray my turkey hunting and other clothes that I wear in the woods with Permethrin. I have not had a tick on me in decades. It works, for me. |

| If the stuff works to keep ticks off of me, it should work to keep them off of the dogs. |

| I have also had great success with Permethrin sprayed on my yard work and warm weather hunting clothes. If you go with Permethrin, be sure to read and comply with the instructions. Don't spray it on your skin or your dogs, it's simply for treating your clothing. It has 100% success for me when using it as directed. |

Out of necessity I turned to the kitchen and developed an alternative to the toxic poison that deals with the ticks , I don't fare well with the poison that are available they all make me really sick.
The ole saying sugar and spice lends credibility to those that seek answers in the kitchen.

I agree, I moved over to permethrin 4 or 5 years ago. I buy the condensed stuff they sell at TSC and cut it down to about what those spray bottles have. I usually hang the clothes in the garage a few weeks before a season and have never had a tick on me sense.
I went out with a buddy that came home complaining how he found nearly 20 on him in comparison. |

| Nick , this is turning into a great post that everyone should read/think about . Ticks were a very small thing yrs ago , and they are prevalent around this area nowadays . As much as Lyme disease is a thing around here , our Medical profession has to get the anti dote from New Hampshire or a nearby OTHER state . Our U.of R med group is a big well known group , also just try to get Ivermectin ! |

I'm happy to see this here. Lymes almost ended me a few years ago. When I go into the north woods these days, my clothing is completely treated with Permethrin. I also took the advice of a forest manager up there and got some Ranger Ready spray (which you can apply to your skin).
Available online and....it's worth the effort. |

I like you was about done in by a tick , I did not have Lyme it was a viral variant.
I have become well versed on educating others how to eliminate Lyme .
A book that is of great value is ( Lyme's disease and Rife Machines).
It takes up to 40 months to eradicate Lyme's but everyone treated has recovered from this terrible health crisis.
Best regards Nick |

It took me about 41 months and a big pile of money (insurance said it didn't exist). Military grade anti-malarials and broad-spectrum antibiotics, along with some South American tinctures seemed to finally do the trick.
But...it left me with some food sensitivities that I now have to live with. I must eat (& drink) very carefully when traveling. |
