How often does the permethrin spray need to be applied on clothing...oops, saw the links! Thanks Refrigerator.
When stationed at the jungle school in Panama, we tested a new issue bug repellent, it was a white cream in a squeeze tube, maybe some of you other Vet's out there are familiar with it. I guess I got it too close to my nostrils and I ended up getting an allergic reaction to it. My whole head swelled up and my lungs were all congested. I looked like a Jack-o-lantern! I never had that reaction from DEET.Yes bug sprays can be very poisonous. On our honeymoon we camped for 9 days and we used 40% deet. 2-3 days into the trip my husbands forehead swelled up. He look like a Neandrathal man, it was funny but not funny. I have pics but he would kill me. Moral of the story watch where you are spraying and dont over do. Hehe.
