Some Liberals have freaked out when I pull out my bottle of 100% Deet!
Do they hit 911 on their cell phones, then take a snap shot to post to their Facebook friends of a murderer of insects?
Whoaa, too strong! You only need about 20%-30% for it to work like a champ. And it is a chemical.
Consumer's Reports tested the sprays etc. 15-20 years ago and reached about the same conclusions this article did, except that the Victoria's Secret perfume wasn't out then (notice the high concentration mentioned) and the Skin So Soft was much less effective than anything with DEET, and less effective than the Cutter non-DEET repellent, which worked fairly well. The non-DEET Cutter, in turn, was less effective than Cutter offerings with DEET. Deep Woods OFF was the king of the hill, then as now.
That’s what I use. 100% DEET, and to hell with anyone who doesn’t like it.
