Can Ticks Bite Through Clothing? Here’s the Truth

One of the biggest myths about ticks is that throwing on a pair of jeans makes you bulletproof.

Unfortunately, it isn’t that simple.

Most ticks aren’t biting straight through a thick pair of blue jeans. Instead, they’re looking for a way around your clothing.

They crawl.

A tick that lands on your boot may work its way up your pant leg. One that grabs onto your sock can spend several minutes looking for exposed skin around your ankle, waistline or behind your knees. They’re patient little bastards.

That’s why so many people never realize they picked one up until they’re back home.

Long pants absolutely help lower your chances of getting bitten, especially if you’re walking through tall grass or brush. Even better, tuck your pant legs into your socks if you’re heading into an area known for heavy tick activity. It may not win any fashion awards, but neither does finding a tick attached to your leg.

Clothing is only one part of the equation.

Stay near the center of hiking trails whenever possible. Avoid brushing against tall weeds and overgrown bushes. Check yourself, your kids and your dog after spending time outdoors.

And don’t wait until you’re already in the middle of the hike to think about protection.

Before you head outside, apply a quality tick repellent according to the directions. We created Ticked Off because we wanted a plant-powered option that smelled fresh instead of like harsh chemicals.

Our handcrafted blend of cedarwood, geranium, lemongrass, peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils was made for people who would rather spend their day enjoying the outdoors than worrying about what might be hiding in the grass.

The goal isn’t to be afraid of nature.

The goal is to be prepared.

A few simple habits can make a big difference, and they take far less time than dealing with a tick after it’s already attached.

Get outside.

Take the hike.

Go camping.

Just don’t make it easy for the ticks.
