Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Watch out for ticks

Thanks, Gene. My problem with that one episode was that I was exerting myself  clearing brush in hot humid weather (July/August), and probably under-hydrated. I also didn't check for the registration of the repellant if any.  Problem is basically fixed now, we go away in late August when things start to cool in Ontario some hence fewer biting bugs. And I don't exert myself quite so much, that's what nephews and sons-in-law are for. ☺

Oh, DEET (and other chemicals) do indeed cause reactions in some individuals -- it sounds like you may be one of those.  I would go with a repellent containing picaridin, which is more or less a straight replacement with efficacy data equivalent to DEET for the same pest species.  See if that works for you -
