Commercial 'anti-tick' socks

Beyond standard permethrin treatment, claims around proprietary 'anti-tick' weaves have limited published evidence.

Steps

schema.org/HowTo
  1. 01
    Treat 'anti-tick' as a marketing label - look for EPA-registered permethrin or Insect Shield.
  2. 02
    If the sock has no registered insecticide, expect only the protection of any tall sock.
  3. 03
    Combine with tucked pants and final body check.
  4. 04
    Re-treat home-treated socks; factory permethrin-treated lasts ~70 washes.
