That's about all there is to it, I think.

I've used it in Florida and Mississippi, where the ticks and chiggers were really thick, and it sure helped.

Back then, you could buy "flowers of sulfur" -which was an extremely fine powder- in the drugstore. I simply dumped some in an old sock and then pat the sock all over myself; more at ankles, wrists and belt than on flat areas. Drop the sock into a ziploc and you can reapply in the field as needed. Also learned it makes a great wind indicator; just slap it or squeeze it and the slightest breeze will carry it away.
