So I’m about to go outdoors this weekend and I get pretty paranoid about ticks. I think it’s that whole Lyme disease thing (and yes, I’ve read all about it and I know I’m not at risk much at all).
But I’ve heard from various people that these tricks work to prevent from ever getting ticks on you:
- Eat lots of garlic
- Drink vinegar
- Drink mineral water
- Take heavily mineral fortified vitamins
- Bathe in paint and let dry
Yes, the last one was a joke. (And lame at that.)
Any truth to these?
Or just a bunch of old husband’s tales?
Thanks.
