Bourbon Virus

[ajayhawkfan]

Last year a neighbor or mine in Bourbon County, KS died of a tick borne illness. It has been determined that he died of a new virus carried by ticks. http://www.examiner.com/article/new-dea ... ted-states He was in good health and very active outdoors. Unlike Lyme disease there is no treatment at this time.

I spend a lot of time in the woods turkey hunting and until recently never took ticks very seriously (I contracted Lyme disease years ago and got over it) however lately I have. I spray my hunting clothes with:

It works great. I don't think I have pulled off more then one or two tick a season sense using it. The spray lasts weeks and through several washings. I believe I'm going to spray it on my riding gear when I'm riding off road.

Damn. I worked with two that had lymes bad. Both had to retire after they couldn't walk or see.
