Better than DEET?

“Looks like DEET might be a thing of the past...

Link”

“It's perfectly safe, has a slightly fruity odor, feels good on the skin and isn't sticky, Klun said.

Another big advantage is that SS220 doesn't dissolve common plastics, like eyeglasses or rayon-polyester fabrics, like DEET does. That will make military equipment designers happy.

2006? I want it now!”

“Great. After I discover how good DEET tastes with my morning coffee, it's probably going to disappear off the shelves altogether.

Now if you'll excuse me, the leprichans are telling me to take a nap under my neighbor's car again.”

“Bring it on!”

“2006? Great, 3 more years of allergic reactions versus insect bites.”

“How bad is that allergic reaction?

This year, so far.”

“I use the 100% sportman's concentrated stuff you find in the camping section at WalMart. I spray a little on my hands then rub it on exposed areas, especially ankles and feet...It works like a charm...less bites, then I wash my hands and go happily about my business. I take showers to wash it off before bed.”
