First ride back into Kelso after the "tick in hair at work" incident. I rocked the whites and put my hair in a bun with a white buff and off I went. So far, no ticks on me.
PS - A field biologist/colleague recommended I use Premethrin on my gear (but its not for skin). Apparently it "kills the tick" and is not just a repellent. The Canadian version is less toxic than the one that is sold in the US.
