Any chance that pyrethrum is a related chemical?  It would be nice if =
pyrethrum was toxic or repellant to ticks.  I hope you are not in =
contact with cats or fish, Peter; or that your clothing wash water =
doesn=E2=80=99t get into any water that has fish.

When we expect to be in an area with ticks (or chiggers, in other parts =
of the world), my wife and I spray our shoes, socks and trousers with =
permethrin. This is available as a product called Duranon, by mail order =
from some US suppliers. It hasn't been approved for use in Canada yet so =
some suppliers won't ship it here, but others will.

At least one company, Insect Shield, sells clothing pre-treated with =
permethrin, and we've had good luck with their products. The treatment =
remains effective through many washes, apparently.
