All true. The really weird thing is that they are using organophosphates in the composition. These act as disruptors in the nervous systems of mammals - think nerve agents. I wouldn't put those thing on my dog for just this reason. It's been awhile since I've had entomology so I can't recall the exact action, but it is the reason I've been dragging my feet on using OP's for mite control in my beehives. I can understand the use of pyrethroids since their actions aren't supposed to affect the central nervous system of mammals , but OP's? That bad news any way you look at it

Kind of validates the Marine nickname "DEVIL DOGS".

Before I get Flamed, I am only reviving my old Inter-Service joking floks. You know, like "You always can tell a Marine, you just can't tell them much"

An OLD sailor.
OK guys, now chime in with all the Inter-Service stuff you almost forgot about.

Send him Pantyhose.

What do troops want? Pantyhose (for sand fleas) ........One item U.S. military personnel in Iraq are asking for is pantyhose. Now, that might give some people pause, but pantyhose are one way that troops can protect themselves from pesky sand fleas...... Women's pantyhose work well enough as a sand-flea barrier, but several companies make pantyhose especially for men. G. Lieberman & Sons offers a practical line of male-only pantyhose through its Web site, www.glieberman.com. Several models sport male-friendly fly openings and come in several sizes, from the more traditional waist-length versions to shorter three-quarter and sock-sized models.

I forgot one. A sailor, Airman, Army Private, and Marine were sitting in a bar. The Sailor asks the Bartender what time is it. He replied for you Sailors, it is four Bells, for you Airmen it is 1400, for you Marines it's 2 PM, and for you Army troops Mickey's Big hand is on 12 and his little hand is on 2.
