Bug spray

[OakLeaf]

DEET is known to dissolve plastic. Including sunglasses, plastic fibers in clothing, tent fabric, probably all manner of stuff hanging off a bicycle... Good to know it doesn't dissolve ABS plastic, but still. Debate about its neurotoxicity aside, it reeks, it makes me choke, and it dissolves my stuff. (And dissolved plastics in DEET could be toxic to humans, whether or not the DEET itself is...)

Bite Blocker is tested as effective as I believe 7% DEET, which doesn't sound like much until you remember that higher concentrations of DEET do NOT protect *better,* they only protect *longer.* The concentrations of DEET are all about the half-life, nothing else. You will need to re-apply Bite Blocker about every 90 minutes, probably a bit more often if you're sweating.

I'm serious mosquito and fly bait. I do not work for the company. I use it. It works.
