Protection From Chiggers, Ticks, and Lyme Disease

I know a lot of people who spend a lot of time in nature, who have not gotten lyme disease. But I know some who have, and lyme disease in the Chicago region is said to be increasing

For many years I sprayed my ankles and legs with bug repellent. It has always worked to ward off the bugs I fear most, ticks and chiggers.

But more recently I've relied on pants treated by the commercial company Insect Shield. That works too, and I don't have to think about it.
