poison oak + ticks
tomorrow i'm going bush-whacking with my wilderness survival class and he warned us that there will be plenty of poison oak and ticks.
i plan on wearing long pants and a long sleeve shirt, but i'm terrified of getting urushiol oil on me! i scar really easily and don't know if i can deal with the stress of getting a rash.
i bought 'ivy block', but i am hesitant to cover such a large amount of my skin with it.
is there anything else i can put on?
and for ticks, does tea tree oil repel them? or is my best bet to just do a full body check when i get home.
