This is good info. In Minnesota we have a huge problem with ticks and lymes. Mosquitoes are quite a nuisance when camping or at the cabin. It would be nice to use less on the skin if one could get by with it. Sounds like you can treat your clothes to keep them off you but still need to treat bare skin areas? When I am at the cabin, I have to use 100% deet or your going to be eaten alive. Are there other ways to use Permethrin to control insects?
