Hello Shannon,
I just got finished taking a school course on Lyme Disease. I would recommend you try this carrier oil recipe:
2 ounces carrier oil- olive oil/ coconut
25 drops of a mix of these essential oils combined: cloves, oregano, eucalyptus, lemongrass and cedarwood
Mix this together and apply to the skin (NOT on sensitive areas like the eyes and ears!)
I also like to use Geranium essential oil mixed with water and then I spray this on myself. This works great for girls because you can spray it on your head to repel the ticks from getting into your hair. I do this before I pick berries in our woods. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this safe for a 4 yr old? Or should I cut the essential oils in half?

That’s a good question! I would probably dilute the essential oils a little bit more but not too much. Just be careful because children have sensitive skin. The 4 year old may do better with the geranium essential oil mixed with water and then sprayed on. This works really well and is great for kids who cannot handle that stronger essential oils. I usually add a few drops to 1/2 cup water and then spray directly on myself. It also keeps shelf stable for a while!

Yes Geranium is a really good essential oil to have ! I had this in a tick repellent I made when I was in a heavily populated area for ticks in Michigan.
