Always dilute essential oils appropriately and follow the directions on commercially formulated repellents. Natural does not automatically mean risk-free. Never apply concentrated essential oils, sulfur products, or diatomaceous earth directly to the skin unless the product is specifically labeled for that use. Perform regular tick checks and follow guidance from qualified health and public-health authorities.
