Title: Re: Permethrin and insect repellents Post by solotripper on Jul 11th, 2016 at 5:17pm
Zski brought up a good point.
Permethrin is for treating FABRIC not to be used DIRECTLY on the skin. Picaridin is like DEET meant to be put on skin but is MUCH safer. I had some SAWYER bug spray I carry in little travel size plastic pump bottle when I need bug dope on exposed skin. It works well and after reading about Picaridin, I read the label and sure enough I had been using it and didn't realize it. I just knew it was DEET free. |
