That's a lotta bug bites.

I lined everybody up for a spray down with "family style" OFF Bug spray. It didn't seem to dissuade the mosquitoes at all. We started calling it sugar water. The other campers had brought a spray that was much more effective. Their spray killed the mosqitoes that were 500 yards away. Ours did nothing.

We figured out the reason. Ours was only 7% deet vs their vial was 100% deet.




So for the camping trip this coming week I got some 30% deet spray. Not enough to give us cancer but enough to avoid this...
