Neem oil helps me 100%.
In a mason jar I pour 3 fingers high any kind of kitchen vegetable oil. Then I add 10-15 drops of NEEM OIL. Stirr it. Ready to use.
After every shower/bath I dip 3 fingers into the oil solution and apply it sparingly on the lower part of my body (from hips down to the ankles). Then again 3 fingers for
the other leg. It doesn't need much, my skin is afterwards not oily!
I find less ticks on me and the ticks who crawl up my leg, die on the way!! Seriously, I find dead ticks on my skin, usually on shin level. I don't know why it kills them, but
I know that it does.
We used it also on goats who had some kind of reddish parasites on their skin and it helped there too.
Neem oil, the tick solution!! I really don't understand why this info is not already out there.
It's worth researching. Good luck
