Dogs can take a pill to ward off fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes but I can’t
I want to take a pill once a month and avoid bugs in the woods too

How come,

That’s a good question really. If there is a health reason that those pills are bad for the animal, then why are they acceptable? Or are animals lives less important?
Prolly b/c the FDA (insurance companies) won't authorize us to poison ourselves the same way we poison our pets--I'll ask my SIL who works at IDEXX, lol, but if i can run the same risk taking a pill that i do spraying my shit with DEET and Permethrin all summer, i'll take the red/blue pill...
...because the dog can't talk and tell the doctor what a crock of shit those pills are
My wife is a retired Dognurse. A sales rep invited the Vet hospital and spouses out for a paid dinner while they did their slide presentation about their new Tick product.
After they were done I told them they needed to develop something to ward Ticks off of humans. They looked at me like I had two heads and wanted to know why humans would need it.

Exactly. And people should also be able to use shock collars to train their kids to act right.
Also, I work out in dense tick infested woods almost daily. I send my pants off to be treated with permethrin and it works great. I find dead ticks on my them quite often after I get home. Mosquitos, well...good luck.

Frank,haven't you ever heard of Skin-So-Soft?
It has other uses while on station for extend periods of time for when you're bored from not swatting skeeters
Eat more garlic until you smell it coming out your skin it will repel most pest , along with any woman within 6 feet of your breath. Only side effect it has.
Side effect of said pill is that you drop and lick your ass in the middle of the floor in front of company
I will spray for ticks

Have you ever considered that maybe YOU are the bug, and that that’s why you can’t take the pills, Frank? Only one way to find out! 
I do like how we can walk into most any grocery store or gas station and buy chemical substances which are perfectly legal to ingest despite killing approximately a half-million people each year, but yet the FDA sees fit to "protect" me from a large number of drugs which might be useful. Thanks, assholes.
I'm willing to try some Frontline, if it'll make it possible to lick my own balls.
If you had a 12 year lifespan maybe you could.
With a 75 year lifespan you would probably develop cancer using that shit.

For mosquitoes my life changed in the woods (deer & Turkey) when I got a thermacell!
I’ve got a liquid I could squirt In your hair that I use on my dog. No pill necessary. Lasts 30 days.
Ticks and mosquitos are no problem. I want a pill to ward off liberals.
The aliens made a deal with the drug companies that they would provide the technology if the drug companies would only give the drugs to dogs. The aliens are trying to make dogs the dominant life form instead of humans because dogs have shown a natural affinity for aliens.

This topic was discussed on reddit a while ago. Here is a post that IMO has a lot of valid explanations with links:

The hair doesn't move the pesticide around. It is absorbed into the sebaceous glands (oil glands) and is distributed through them. Through the natural oil production of the sebaceous glands producing oil it is spread to the rest of the hair.

Essentially you are using a systemic pesticide to make your entire pet become toxic to the insects.
The dose only just lasts for a month.
The reason it wouldn't work in humans as we'll (though it is used) would be due to the hair density. The insect would have to come into contact with the hair (that's where the oil gland produces it's insecticidal concoction. So an insect is less likely to encounter a hair on us as it would be on a cat or a dog.
It is used on humans sparingly.

Guaran-fuckin'-tee that "hair density" is not an insufficiency with many of the guys here. As long as we're not talking about scalps.
Dogs Lick there balls clean too......how far does this I want to be like a dog fascination go?
My dog has a pretty good life.
And you're a liar if you say that you wouldn't suck your own dick if you could.
ACV comes in pill form, as does Garlic. ACV wards off most bugs an Garlic helps ward off tics in those the ACV won't.
You'll find many who play/ed in the woods use ACV all the time. Too much garlic will give you away,... just the right amount also helps attract the young two legged slit tails,...but keeps tics away,... fact!

Make this a little smaller and put a QD mount on the bottom. Clip it right to the rifle rail. Or an Arca mount so you can slide it up or down with ease to allow for barricade shooting. TAF with out the bugs.
No pill needed... Man has mastered the use of fire.
Give this a try Frank: www.bugtamer.com in conjunction with the Thermacell mentioned above by M1Army. The combination works very well for me and these skeeters down here in the Big Cypress can stand flat footed and rape a full grown turkey! Good luck and stay safe.
Im not convinced at least half the members here dont do this already... just because...
Guys
I know how to keep mosquitoes away, we use all the above, that is not hte point
I am not looking for a remedy, I don't have a problem with it, but seeing the same commercial on TV every hour about flea and tick pills for dogs I decided I wanted to take a pill too
I saw a commercial for Boy Scouts to call an 800 number if they were molested too, doesn't mean I need to call the number, there was also a commercial about Church molesters with a different 800 number,
this is probably gonna give a few of you Eagle Scouts some flashbacks, you know the time you got that special merit badge.
But I want to just drop a pill once a month and keep the bugs away, is that so hard, dogs get it, I want it.
I get thermocells work, sprays work, pants soaked in toxic chemicals work, but I want to take a pill, my dog said it works great, right after he told me the neighbors need to go.

Dude,
I had a foot of snow in the last week,
Taken this week here in CO, we actually have no issue with bugs like these here in Denver, it's not that bad at all
