Some time ago I believe there were posts about the 3M Ultrathon
repellent? I just found the 6-oz. spray can at Walgreens
drugstore for $6.29. This is the stuff that's supposed to last
for 8 hours--resisting rain/perspiration--repels mosquitoes/ticks
/biting flies/chiggers/gnats/fleas/deerflies, can be sprayed on
skin/clothing, and contains 25% DEET. FYI/FWIW/YMMV, etc.
(P.S. I bought a tube of the cream version from REI several months
ago and found that it works well for me when I'm out in the Florida
woods doing trailwork all day.)
