Your reply #3 says: most of the newer insecticides are analogs of nerve gas agents...This is very interesting because two times I have used insect spray with DEET in them and both times it felt like there was something wrong with the nerves in my body. This feeling lasted a week each time. Anybody else have trouble with DEET?

Yes, DEET makes me queasy... I'm not sure if that's a systemic reaction, conditioning to dislike the smell, or what, but I usually avoid the stuff and wear heavy sleeves, jeans, hat- and sweat a lot! A good cheap Swisher Sweet cigar is handy, too...

Yeah. I have trouble when I run out of it!

You like chiggers laying their larvae inside the layers of your skin to chew on it for a week or so?? Ah, yes!!! Nature is soooo wonderful and pure!!!!! LOL!
