Easiest to make tick repellent - tested&confirmed

Hello Steemians.

As an angler, and passionate mushrooms lover, ive been dealing with ticks for long long time. We all have our own ways to repel or to get rid of those bloodsuckers, but we should never stop learning about new ways of doing things.

I would like to say ‚‚thank you very much" to the lady who told me about clove and its effect on ticks, but ive never got the chance to know her name. Our 2 groups met in the middle of nowhere, while i was removing incredibly small tick from my forearm. She said she didnt seen a tick for the last 20 years spent in mushrooms hunting, thanks to clove only, and told me the recipe.

Its very simple.

50 g of whole dried clove
1 L of warm water

Shake it.
Leave it 10 minutes.

There it is.

For now, its the cheapest, most efficient, easiest to make tick repellent ive ever tried.

I can say its confirmed now, because ive didnt seen a tick since i am using it. People around me, who doesnt use repellents are getting their portion of bites and removals, but im still waiting to see one crawling on me.

One more thing - clove tea is also very effective against mosquitoes. If you are going to test it against flying bloodsuckers, trick is - it lasts 20 min only. If there is no strong enough smell, they start landing again. Im going to try to adjust the recipe, like, 150 g per 0.5 l of water for mosquiteos, and see if it works for a longer time.

3rd good thing about clove tea is - it smells just great =)

Try it, and if it works with your local ticks too, spread the word!
