I wore the insect repellent that I used in the middle east (Saudi Arabia)

Not having anything even resembling the EPA in Saudi, does that mean ‘pure napalm’?

Lol. Close. They have SO much money and NO rules that I could get ANYTHING. I got stuff that was DEFINITELY illegal here. But...it killed those bugs!!
My thinking: it's their country and if they think it's okay to have all those DREADFUL pesticides, then ok.

I can remember our camp being sprayed. A HUGE Mercedes Benz tanker truck pulled up to our softball diamond. We had complained about the mosquitoes, so this tanker truck pulled up. We all thought, "Nah they wouldn't SPRAY us...that would KILL us like it kills the bugs."

Well they did spray and we coughed and coughed and coughed for 15 minutes. Geez!!!!! We should have known better. That is what they DO! Rather than 30 women complaining to the company about the mosquitoes...they sprayed -- us too.

Do you remember the cartoons where the bug is sprayed and it drops STRAIGHT DOWN? It was a cartoon, but that is what the bugs did when sprayed with STRAIGHT DDT--illegal here but used there. Lord, it probably shortened my life by 10 years!!
