Armor For Lyme Warriors

Updated: May 14, 2018

As a sufferer of tick-borne disease I'm anxious whenever I venture outdoors. Be it a walk in the park with my two blue heelers, Ellie and Grace, or an adventure into my own back yard for some garden therapy. Even getting out of and into the car when it's parked next to a planter causes lip sweat and heart palpitations. It's post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for which I am in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). In CBT for PTSD I've learned prevention is key and the first line of defense against vector-borne diseases. To my relief, Lymeez has developed and patented a smart garment that slows ticks to a crawl.


Lymeez® 3D Mesh Tick Gaiters are an advanced tick fighting technology used by thousands of outdoor workers at local, state and federal agencies, private businesses, and outdoor recreationalists of all types. Ticks don't fly or jump, therefore, the 3D Mesh Tick Gaiters target ticks at their most frequent questing height and use "intelligent textile technology," infusing every fiber of the gaiters with micro-encapsulated permethrin. Movement and friction causes some of the millions of microcapsules to burst, gradually releasing the repellent. Repellency lasts the expected lifetime of the product. Lymeez 3D Mesh fibers confound and slow the climb of deer ticks by 4 to 8 times over common pant fabrics. A slower climb means longer exposure to the tick-killing microencapsulated repellent on each fiber of the gaiters. Do that in a pair of khakis!


While Lymeez LLC does not guarantee complete prevention of tick bites (no company can), the 3D Mesh Tick Gaiters offer effective built-in tick protection. Lymeez 3D Mesh Tick Gaiters are durable and attractive with an adjustable fit. The one-size-fits-all 3D Mesh Tick Gaiters are sewn and treated in the USA, and come in black, olive or tan.


Tick bite prevention works only when it is a regular habit. With a pair of Lymeez 3D Mesh Tick Gaiters you could be clad with an added layer of confidence to live the Lymeez motto "Outdoors More, Worry Less!
