In September, I did a lot of birding, both on Long Island and in and around Cape May. Came down with a fairly severe fever toward the end of the month, that seems to be the result of a tick-born disease. Not Lyme, probably, but there are many others, and tests are underway. I’ve started taking antibiotics, which have reduced the fever and in all likelihood prevented long-term damage.
In a urgent quest to close the barn door after the cow has escaped, i’m wondering if any Hoggers have found satisfactory “anti-tick” clothing? I’m primarily concerned with pants and socks. Any that you would NOT recommend, for one reason or another?
Thanks in advance for your colllected wisdom.

I have both long and short sleeve treated shirts that, so far, have done their job. My main complaint is the fabric, though light weight does not breathe well, making it very uncomfortable to wear in hot, humid weather. Long sleeve shirt is L.L. Bean; short sleeve got on eBay. Same complaint with both shirts. Washing them is a bit pita as instructions are to wash separately and hang to dry. Thus, they don’t get washed very often. But, so what, I don’t wear them to dinner or other social activities. The long sleeve is quite comfortable in 50-60 temps. Have not yet purchased trousers due to fit issues.
