Warning for Southern Ontario turkey hunters

[Doe Master]

You are right about being late to the party on Lyme`s .
We had a guest speaker a couple of years ago at out Annual meeting . He said he had to remortgage his house and go stateside . Because the doctors refuse to acknowledge it is here because they will get disciplined if they diagnose it .

Permethrin works great, problem her in Canada is that it is illegal to use.
I still purchase it in the USA and will continue to use it on all my hunting cloths

Illegal in Canada for use in products destined to be used on humans, but you can get livestock spray that contains permethrin. Hit up TSC or Amazon.ca...

Good enough for a horse, good enough for me

Classed as Class 4 Pesticide In Canada.
TSC is required to restrict sale to public.
Must be a registered farm to purchase in Ontario. TSC here in Kingston requires proof of such.
Tried and was refused!

I bought my concentrate on Amazon.ca

Question: compared to the Sawyer's 'spray-on’ permethrin once dried does not give of any odor. Does the concentrate do the same onced dried? Don't want any deer to smell a mile away

It is a concentrate, meant to be diluted.

Boo just checked out your link which one did you get?

I use the 33% (usa) permethrin mixed (diluted) a tad heavy to .01% instead of .005% as Sawyers is mixed. I have not been busted any while using it deer hunting but for Turkeys it is great as they could care less and Spring is the worse time for ticks. The US military uses a mix even heavier than what I use. I have not seen a tick on me while using Permethrin on my clothes and I have been using it for years.

What makes it even harder to understand is sexual reassignment surgery (sex change) is 100% covered in most provinces, yet taxpayers have been forced to go to the US for healthcare due to zero coverage for lyme disease in Canada.

I don't mean to offend anyone here who has received a sex change, but treating potentially life threatening health issues should come looooong before altering your sexual organs.

Trying to understand our country has the [potential to make your brain hurt

Turns out they found a new strain of Lyme Disease right in my own back yard:

Not much impressed by that news! Guess I'll be ordering some of that permethrin soon myself...

Cheers,

I just check Sawyers spray and it states Active Ingredient: Permethrin (0.5%)
So your in the weak side

Not really. I should not have included the % sign as 0.5% = .005
it is 1/2 of 1%.

If deer are carrying lymes disease does that mean if you cut yourself while field dressing a deer you could contact it? Or is it only from the tic bite?
