or eat it raw.... try once a week and about halfway thru the week, eat a yeast cake... mosquitos, fleas, and ticks will leave you alone... White tshirts won't be a real good idea tho (yellow armpits)... Used to put a little sulphur powder on the dog's feed to keep fleas & ticks off of them....

Use Permetherin. You spray it on your clothes NOT your skin. It works on everything that lands or crawls on your clothes. When I say it works on it kills them, mosquitoes, chiggers, ticks etc. They just plain die. It lasts for multiple days though I admit to touching up chigger prone areas daily. It usually comes in a yellow bottle or can with a green top on it.
My Marines and I used it religiously during weeks in the field and seldom did anyone get bit. You can usually get it at Academy.
Again spray it on your clothes, my buddies Dad did not read the directions and about ten minutes after he sprayed it on like you would off his lips were numb and tingling...hence insects dying.
