I wish i only got 8 ticks crawling on me when i get into a " nest" of them. Its more like 50. Try the permamone, wal-mart carries it in there sporting good section and its superb.

RE: Tick Defense
I had really good luck using Avon' s Skin so Soft to keep the ticks away. I put it on my skin before I got dressed, and it seemed to work all day. Guys I met who were hunting the same area had lots of ticks on them while I had none.
I' ll be using it next month to keep the mosquitos away during dove season. We have had some deaths here in Colo already from West Nile.

RE: Tick Defense
click-
The stuff is called Repel with Permanone. It comes in a 6 ounce aerosol can that says something like " to treat gear and clothing" ... Damned if I reember the colors on the can, but I think it was blue with yellow lettering & Pictures of camping stuff on it. You can find it in the camping section of Walmart for about $5. Once it dries, there is no smell. I had about a half dozen whitetail come to about 25-30 yards downwind of me and they fed for better than 5 minutes without me getting busted.
