I just saw a notice that EPA says Lemon eucalyptus works as well as Deet. Give that a try.

I really think your best bet is to keep your body covered as much as possible, to look carefully for ticks while you’re hiking and then when you’re finished, and to use the recommended repellents on your clothing rather than your skin. I know it is inconvenient, but that’s probably the best way to stay safe. Good luck.

Are there any natural tick repellents that you know of?
