Know Your Enemy
The tick that's changing what Americans can eat.
The Lone Star tick is spreading rapidly across the Eastern US — and it carries a bite that can trigger Alpha-Gal Syndrome, a red meat allergy. One bite. That's all it takes to permanently alter your diet.
⚠️ Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS)
A Lone Star tick bite sensitizes your immune system to a sugar molecule in red meat. Reactions include hives, anaphylaxis, and severe GI distress — sometimes hours after eating. Ticks are the only known cause of AGS. Reducing tick bites is the only known prevention.
1
Tick bites during outdoor activity
Hiking, running, gardening — any time you're in grass or brush
2
Alpha-Gal enters your bloodstream
A sugar molecule from the tick triggers immune sensitization
3
Red meat allergy develops
Beef, pork, lamb — all can trigger severe allergic reactions. Reducing tick exposure is the only known prevention.

The Formula
Why ticks hate Lavora.
Every active compound was chosen for evidence-based repellency — combined in a proprietary botanical blend that works up to 4 hours.
Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (PMD)20%
CDC-recommended plant-based active. Formulated with EPA-registered OLE/PMD for tick & mosquito protection.
Cedarwood Oil15%
Disrupts octopamine receptors in insects. Repels and kills ticks on contact.
Geranium Oil10%
Studied for efficacy against Lone Star ticks specifically. Pleasant floral scent.
Clove Oil5%
Eugenol-rich. Neurotoxic to ticks. Powerful synergistic effect with PMD.
Citronella + Thyme Blend2%
Broadens spectrum coverage against mosquitoes and gnats.
After the Bite
What to do if you get bitten.
Remove it fast. Treat the site. Support your immune system. This 3-step protocol gives your body the best chance.
1
Remove Immediately
Use a flat-lever tool — never squeeze or twist. Slide under the tick and lift cleanly. Speed matters.
2
Treat the Bite Site
Apply healing clay directly to the site. Its negative ionic charge draws out toxins and disinfects the area.
3
Support Your Immunity
Astragalus root has been used for centuries to support immune response after potential tick exposure.
The best bite is the one that never happens.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — Lavora is safe for kids 2 and up. Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (our primary active) is not recommended for children under 2. For very young children, consult your pediatrician first.
Up to 4 hours per application under normal conditions. Reapply after heavy sweating, swimming, or rain. For extended outdoor activity, we recommend reapplying every 2–3 hours.
Yes. Our formula includes Geranium Oil and Cedarwood Oil — both clinically studied for efficacy against Amblyomma americanum (Lone Star tick). We formulated Lavora specifically with AGS prevention in mind.
Soft and clean — like a faint hint of cedar and herbs. It's intentionally subtle. People around you won't notice you're wearing repellent, and there's no chemical or perfume smell to it.
Hold 6–8 inches from skin and spray evenly on exposed areas. Rub in gently. Avoid eyes and mouth. Apply to clothing cuffs and socks — ticks climb upward from the ground. Wash hands after applying.

What People Are Saying

★★★★★
"Finally — bug spray that doesn't stink"
Lavora smells incredible and we didn't get a single bite on our 8-mile trail. I've been avoiding hiking all summer because DEET makes me feel sick. Game changer.
★★★★★
"My AGS diagnosis changed everything"
After my diagnosis I became obsessed with prevention. Lavora is the only thing I trust. I spray it every time I'm outside — it works and I actually enjoy putting it on.
★★★★★
"Kids love the smell, I love the protection"
My 4 and 7-year-old actually ask for their Lavora before we go to the park. No fighting, no crying. Zero bites all summer.
★★★★★
"Works in real tick country"
I run trails in Virginia where ticks are everywhere. Three months, zero ticks. This is the first natural repellent I genuinely trust.
★★★★★
"You can barely smell it — and it works"
No one knows I'm wearing bug spray. It's so subtle, but I haven't gotten a single bite all season. Exactly what I was looking for.
★★★★★
"Replaced our whole family's bug spray"
One bottle for all of us — my husband, me, and the kids. We go through a bottle every two weeks in summer. The family that sprays together stays bite-free.
