Tick-borne Illness and Clothing Study — TICS

Tick Bites Clinical Trial

Official title:
Preventing Exposure to Ticks and Tick-borne Illness in Outdoor Workers

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The high risk of acquiring tick-borne diseases by outdoor workers is well documented. Workers most at risk include, foresters, park rangers, land surveyors and other outdoor workers have frequent exposure to tick-infested habitats. Many North Carolina state employees with outdoor occupations report multiple tick bites each year, which indicates that existing tick preventive strategies may be ineffective. The principal goal of this study is to assess whether the use of long-lasting permethrin impregnated uniforms can reduce the number of tick bites sustained by North Carolina outdoor workers.
