8 years of Boy Scouting with my Eagle Scout son, anybody using this technique never got ticks but plenty on the non-sulfur users.
We were in lots of places with lots of ticks, cattle ranch country of Texas.
I also sprinkled sulfur powder and diatomaceous earth at the entrance to the tent to keep the crawly creatures (fire ants, etc.) out.
