Just pre-treat your clothes with permethrin, and spray some lemon-eucalyptus oil on exposed skin, and you'll be fine. Or you can use picaridin. Really. (A single treatment of permethrin will last about 6 washes. Treat outerwear and socks only, not gloves, hats, underwear, or balaclavas. But DO NOT expose cats to wet permethrin; it is highly toxic to them. They should be fine with treated clothing though.)
