“Wearing these preventive, protective socks has allowed me to once again appreciate my own yard and woodlands! After finding many deer ticks on my property--and suffering multiple cases of Lyme disease within the family--I purchased a package of Insect Shield's permethrin-treated socks. Since then, the only tick I have found on myself was the one that slowly crawled off my IS sock and expired in the grass. And the socks are excellent quality: always comfortable, with elastic so good that, even by the time I reach my 70-washes limit on repellency, they still fit great.”
