on a related subject, does any one recommend a particular repellent for ticks?
I was finding a least one a week last summer on the mendips.
This may help, from a UK Lyme disease charity:

I used Smidge all last summer and didn't pick up a single one. I'm normally a tick magnet (I've already had one this year).
It contains Saltidin/Icaridine at 20% so rates the highest on that chart linked above. It's also a very waterproof formula so seems to last all day. (and it's great for the midge).
Thats a terrible name for a common.
Sorry about the rubbish thread title, blame my Lyme-addled brain.
Seems a good time to bump this.
