When I went to the everglades a couple springs ago, I picked up a concoction of deet + skin so soft (about 7% deet). It's called skintastics. The deet being suspended in an oil seemed to make it possible to spread out a very thin layer, which serves to limit the amount of toxin I was putting on. I'd put just the tiniest squirt on ea appendage and then spend a minute or two rubbing so as to spread it real thin. I do have to admit that 2 or 3 times when attacked verociously by mosquitos that I used my partners cutter aerosol max deet spray. But it is a bummer to crawl in the sleeping bag saturated with bug poison. -- Mike McNally mmcnally3_at_prodigy.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
