Definitions

  • the invention pertains to the field of pest control and protection. More particularly, the invention pertains to single-purpose tick-repelling forearm and leg covering apparel for the prevention of tick bites.
  • ticks are small arachnids, of the subclass acari, in the order ixodida that bury their head into the skin of the host to suck blood. Many ticks carry diseases or disease-causing substances. There are three families of ticks, ixodidae (hard ticks), argasidae (soft ticks) and nuttalliellidae. There are more than 200 known tick species.
  • Tick borne diseases include: African tick-bite fever, angiomatosis, Astrakhan fever, babesiosis, bacteremia, boutonneuse (Mediterranean spotted) fever, cat scratch disease, Colorado tick fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, encephalitis, endocarditis, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, human monocyclic ehrlichiosis, Israeli spotted fever, Kyasaur forest disease, louping ill, Lyme disease, meningoencephalitis (Powassan enchephalitis), Omsk hemorrhagic fever, peliosis hepatis, Q fever, relapsing fever (typhinia), Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tick- induced allergies, tularemia (Pahvant Valley plague, rabbit fever, deer fly fever, Ohara's fever), and typhus (Queensland tick t.
  • the primary disease vectors are the deer tick (ixodes scapularis), Lone Star tick (amblyomma americanum), American dog ticks (dermacentor variabilis), Rocky Mountain wood ticks (dermacentor andersoni), black legged tick (ixodes pacificus).
  • the main vector is castor bean tick (ixodes ricinus).
  • pant bottoms inside socks simply prevents ticks from crawling under pants and onto legs. Ticks instinctively crawl up, so the strategy merely reduces the area of tick bites to the trunk and above. Furthermore, young ticks, and many adult ticks (e.g., ixodes scapularis) are extremely small, and the presence of a tick may be overlooked even with the most careful inspection. It is often difficult for parents to consistently and thoroughly inspect children. Furthermore, human vanity is a considerable factor; pants tucked into socks is simply not an appealing fashion style.
  • the best strategy is to repel or kill ticks as soon as they climb from the ground onto or fall from tall grass or other vegetation onto the limbs of the host, and to maximally cover the leg and forearm with an ixodicidal substrate. This is the teaching of the current invention. [0007] Furthermore, taking precautions to prevent tick bites must become a habit.
  • the current invention is single purpose— its only purpose is to repel ticks.
  • Dual purpose solutions such as permethrin-treated socks, pants, shirts, leggings or hiking gaiters, inhibit habitual use. Dual purpose solutions are (1) impractical as they require dressing forethought— a showstopper when children are to be protected, (2) expensive, (3) inflexible, (4) style limiting or simply unattractive (e.g., hiking gaiters) for everyday use and (5) maintenance difficulty. Dual purpose also tend to lack the ixodicidal completeness of the present invention; each in its own way is strategically lacking.
  • a solution must also be flexible in two ways: (1) it must conform to the variety of human leg and forearm sizes; and, (2) allow for the wearer to wear it over bare legs or forearms as well as clothed legs or forearms. This is all the more true for parents concerned with protecting children going outdoors. This is the approach of the current invention.
  • a solution must be easy-to-use.
  • the present invention slips on easily over pant bottom and holds the pants lightly against the leg and above the cuff of the invention, which causes any attached questing ticks to come in contact with the ixodicidal surface of the invention.
  • a solution must be durable. For broad, habitual use a must last for repeated use in a variety of outdoor environments. Durability is not simply a cost issue to the consumer, but a factor in habitual use because the user must know that the solution is broadly effective for a variety of activities and always conveniently available.
  • a solution must be attractive.
  • a key component of habitual use is attractiveness.
  • the current invention has appealing attractiveness characteristics. It can be printed or knitted in a variety of patterns that appeal to a wide range of tastes. It can match or contrast current clothing. It can be worn at different heights. It is unobtrusive and generally void of any fashion ugliness.
  • a solution must be inexpensive. Cost is always an issue for any solution.
  • Dual purpose requires a wardrobe. Design must be easy to manufacture and treat. One size fits most is a factor.
  • a solution must be easy-to-maintain.
  • the most effective ixodicides e.g., permethrin
  • Apparel containing ixodicides must be washed separately from other items. Since the present solution is generally worn over pants, it must be laundered less frequently than garments exposed to the skin. Furthermore, it is much easier for the user to launder the invention separately from other garments rather than having to keep track of dual-purpose articles such as socks, pants, leggings, etc. coated with ixodicidal poisons.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,353,939 to Arber teaches a disposable onetime use legging made of paper with upper and lower elastic bands that hold the tick repelling covering in place on the wearer's leg, for preventing tick bites by causing ticks to climb across externally mounted adhesive strips which capture them.
  • the prevention strategy is that ticks will (1) climb onto the host from the foot and (2) will be captured by adhesive strips, and (3) will be rendered harmless when the device is disposed. It is a one- time use item. It is intended to be worn with shoes or boots and with the wearer's legs covered.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,141,802 to Drake teaches a tick barrier system for a pair of pants.
  • the pants have an integral inner gaiter that fits snugly around the wearer's ankle and are stitched to the inside of the pant leg.
  • the prevention strategy is to prevent tick contact with the wearer's skin by creating a cavity where the tick is frustrated in its attempt to find skin. Presumably the tick never finds the path up the outside of the pant leg and either drops off or is removed after careful post-wear inspection.
  • leg coverings have been provided in the prior art that are adapted to be used. Furthermore, even though these innovations may be suitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address, however, they would not be suitable for the purposes of the present invention as heretofore described.
  • the present invention provides tick-repelling coverings to be worn by the user around the legs or forearms.
  • a substantially tubular, stretchable, wearable covering, with cuffs at both ends made of knitted or woven ixodicidally-treated textile, that when worn, repels or kills ticks.
  • the invention provides, in various preferred forms, a tick repelling covering formed by sewing or preferably circular knitting.
  • the tick repelling covering is a stretchable cover that preferably is constructed from woven, stretchable fabric, which is a treated textile containing an ixodicide, such as the pyrethroid permethrin.
  • the tubular covering has proximal and distal cuffs of elastic yarns, which serve to both keep the covering in place and form a physical barrier to ticks at the respective distal ends.
  • the covering is worn on the leg of wearer, where the distal cuff holds the covering in place around the ankle, and when the wearer is wearing pants, provides sufficient pressure to prevent the bottom of the pant leg from protruding from underneath the covering, and thus not only providing a mechanism for causing ticks to make contact with the ixodicidally-treated fabric, but also depriving ticks a physical route to wearer's body, and the proximal cuff holds the covering in place just below the knee.
  • the covering is worn on the forearm of wearer, where the distal cuff holds the covering in place around the wrist, and when the wearer is wearing long sleeves, provides sufficient pressure to prevent the cuff of the sleeve of the wearer from
  • the covering is easily slipped on over the foot when worn on the leg and over the hand when worn on the forearm.
  • the covering is a treated-textile containing an ixodicidal agent of long-lasting effectiveness, meaning that it lasts through 25 washings of the covering or one year, whichever comes first.
  • the invention provides a tick repelling covering wearable on a human leg or human forearm. It has a stretchable, tubular structure that carries throughout its entire structure an ixodicide.
  • the covering repels or kills ticks, thereby preventing the human from being subjected to a tick bite, which can ultimately cause a large number of human diseases.

  • Preferred repellents include highly volatile synthetic pyrethroids, such as permethrin.
  • Other ixodida control ingredients include volatile insecticides, volatile insect-repelling natural oils, volatile insect growth regulators, and mixtures thereof.
  • the materials that the covering are made of are not critical, albeit it is preferred that they be stretchable and provide an effective substrate for the ixodicide.
  • this invention provides a convenient and inexpensive way to deliver an ixodicide to the extremities of the wearer. As such, protection can be achieved without directly coating an active ixodicide on human skin and/or clothing.
