Powder..Patch..Ball FIRE!

Anybody else have trouble with DEET?
Yeah. I have trouble when I run out of it!
You like chiggers laying their larvae inside the layers of your skin to chew on it for a week or so?? Ah, yes!!! Nature is soooo wonderful and pure!!!!! LOL!

I don't use anything but powdered sulpher when going into the wilds... a little in my socks and around my waistband and dusting on the back of my neck keeps me chigger and tick free /also slows down the skeeters and flys. No pesticide and no bad reactions... FWIW..

I have heard of that remedy from some older relatives, a long time ago. Seems like it would be worth a try.
