I found this true I tried the pantyhose and found that it does work. Hard to put on at first and my wife gave me a pair and I worked out in tall grass for 5 hours and to my surprise only 1 tick on my pants and none on my legs. The more thicker the better. Sorry but better than getting lymes disease
Got to give it a try

Pantyhose were commonly wore(and they do work). Many times when we were going out to the field a Marine would stop by and ask me that if they were hurt if I would remove their pantyhose before I’d medevac them so that if their wife had to identify them they wouldn’t be found with pantyhose on.

I purchased a set in Virginia a couple of years ago and as I am a tick and chigger magnet, wore them on tracking classes in Oklahoma, home of the most voracious ticks and chiggers this side of the Missisippi. Both the top and bottom camouflage parts worked magnificently and for the first time in years did not go home to Arizona scratching like a hound dog in the Ozarks! Great product and well worth the price I paid for the set.

Ever wonder how women can still wear dresses in the winter? It’s our pantyhose.

Glad to see they have not fallen out of fashion.

And Panty hose are what myself and other planters use to repel ticks.. ask any tree planter why they were panty hose. they’ll tell you.
