While we're talkn' bugs, I've got a question about deet on fleece and other
clothing.  I know deet can melt plastic, but has anyone had any problems
with fleece, fuzzy rubber, or other camping clothing with deet on it?  I'm
also thinking about getting some sun clothing and if anyone has opinions
about bug stuff on that, it would be greatly appreciated.  Does Permethrin
(sp) hurt any type of clothing in your experience?
I don't think I'll put deet on my fuzzy rubber, but the rest of it I'd
rather spray my clothes than my skin.
I'll also be wearing those oh-so-fashionable flea-n-tick collars for
humans.... anything to avoid ticks, skeeters, and the like. :)

Thanks!
Julie :)
