The Story Foraging Coverall

Hi, I’m Dina Rashid, the founder of Tick Off Ticks (TOT), based in Toronto, Ontario. My passion for tick safety and Lyme disease awareness began when I joined the board of the Mycological Society of Toronto. During our forays, we emphasize tick education, which sparked my deep curiosity about prevention. I immersed myself in research, engaged with experts, and became a go-to resource for tick bite prevention.

At TOT, we are dedicated to providing innovative, non-chemical solutions for outdoor enthusiasts. Our mission is to help people explore nature safely while raising awareness about tick-borne illnesses and the importance of early prevention. Whether you're a forager, hiker, or gardener, we want to ensure you can enjoy the outdoors with confidence and protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

'Spray Me' Zones

Over time, the 'Spray Me' zones may change color due to repellent application—embrace the evolving camo effect as a sign of well-used protection!

Please do not use insect repellent containing DEET, it will eat through the fabric composition.

Do the Tick-Kits come with the TOT Foraging Coverall?

No, tick kits are sold separately. They cost $12 plus tax/shipping when purchased alone. However, when bought with a TOT Foraging Coverall, they are $10 plus tax with no additional shipping cost.

How can I add extra protection?

Use the D-rings for attaching handkerchiefs or other fabric items that can be sprayed with insect repellent, adding an extra barrier against ticks.

For maximum protection, wear long socks over the 'spray me' zones and reapply repellent to your socks for added defense.

How Do I Care for my Coverall?

Think of it like a coat—it doesn’t need to be washed after every use. When cleaning is necessary:

  • Machine wash in cold water with a mild detergent.
  • Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can weaken the fabric.
  • Hang to dry to maintain durability and shape.
  • Do not use DEET-based insect repellents, as they may degrade the fabric.
