When my nephew was in grad school for Pharmacy, he came to visit, in July, in a wooded area on a river. He absolutely refused to apply DEET or Repel and still went out into the woods.
Kid won’t eat any red meat, either and told me in 1999 that Bulgaria was superior to the US at that time.
So, he doesn’t want to use insect repellant? Fine.
This past summer, our two grand kids that live with us went out to a church members property to camp out. We sent two partial cans of “Deep Woods Off” with them, when they got home, I asked them if they used it all, they told me that “Jeremy” the owner, threw away everybody’s “Off” because it had something “bad” in it.
I let it go, for the sake of harmony in the church and went out and bought two new cans and gave my grands a little talk on respecting other people’s property and included a little talk on liberalism and how it turns people’s brains to mush. They won’t be going back to those people’s house for a camp out anymore.
