If you can imagine the most #vile, #disgusting, #repugnant and #nasty behaviour a human being can exhibit, you've probably just described a #Republican #politician without even realizing it.
It's all the rage with the #GOP #Brand these days.
The more #repellent #smarmy and #slimy, the more authentic they are.
All hail the Thermacell for making it tolerable to be outside and not be drained of all my blood. #mosquitoes #repellent #evening
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has added CATNIP OIL and OIL OF CITRONELLA to its list of *registered*, skin-applied chemicals that repel mosquitoes, joining DEET, IR 3535, PMD (oil of lemon eucalyptus), picaridin, and 2-undecanone. Officially, I don't think catnip is registered for use against ticks but there's plenty of web chatter that it works. #mosquitoes #repellent #ticks #epa #nature https://www.epa.gov/insect-repellents/skin-applied-repellent-ingredients
Fun fact: DEET is also effective at repelling leeches. However, I haven't seen that as an EPA-accepted usage in the United States so I don't think you'll see it on the label like you can in Australia (home to 100+ species of leeches. #leeches #deet #repellent https://bushman-repellent.com/bushman-lotion.php
Good article on safety of DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide). Many people assume it causes cancer but it doesn't. Just don't drink it. #repellent #deet #mosquitoes #WestNile #EEE https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/27/well/deet-bug-spray.html?unlocked_article_code=1.IE4.f_ty.Kz-MyczZy6Dk&smid=url-share
The Bug Bite Thing actually works 😮
I just purchased another one to keep in my fishing bag 😊
But, I would still use DEET 😉
Quick tip for Thermacell owners: replace the repellent cap after every use so that you don't lose fluid from evaporation. Refill cartridges (active ingredient: metofluthrin) are insanely expensive. Doing this will also remind you to turn the device off. #mosquitoes #pesticide #repellent #thermacell #pyrethroids
Good morning. Does anyone know if these things actually work? I have anecdotal evidence all over my body that it doesn't, and the only thing I'm poisoning is me and @roel 😬
Neem oil and it's use as a natural insect repellent for cannabis. Care to learn more? Click this link to view more https://ko-fi.com/Post/DIY-Neem-Oil-Natural-Pest-Repellent-for-Cannabis-K3K2YOJ5J #neem #oil #cannabis #insect #repellent #guide #knowledge #natural #nature #fyregarden
One mosquito-control myth that will likely never die is that certain species of plants have the ability to repel mosquitoes. Even the ones that are loaded with monoterpenes and other volatiles have absolutely no repellent effect. Sorry, master gardeners, I'm just the messenger. #mosquito #mosquitoes #repellent #garden #gardening #plants #science
I am covered by DEET and permethrin-treated clothes 😅

I cannot bear it.
Frantz #Fanon was born on the Caribbean island of Martinique, which was then a French colony. Frantz Fanon said (at first Congrès des Écrivains Noirs in #Paris in 1956) :
"It is not possible to subjugate people without logically making them inferior through and through. And racism is simply the emotional, affective and sometimes intellectual expression of this prior inferiorisation."
The skin microbiome could be harnessed as mosquito repellent, study hints

Hi FediFamily,
Looking for product recommendations #CDC, #NIH or #EPA recommend #tick #repellent. Please do not suggest herbal remedies that are not verified by CDC, NIH or EPA.
How do #bacteria sense repellents? @zhulinlab show that although the #attractant citrate & the #repellent malate bind to the same site in the receptor ligand-binding domain of a #chemoreceptor, they induce different conformational changes #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/47Teus6
Is Google broken? I'm trying to search for:
__ skin burning Autan __
without any quotation marks, and all I'm getting is links to buy Autan!
Has anyone here ever experienced #burning sensation on the #skin after having applied Autan - or any other popular #Icaridin / #Picaridin / #Saltidin based mosquito #repellent?
#Mosquito control experiment status: #eucalyptus #lemon oil #repellent works, and doesn't melt plastic like #DEET -- however, need to change clothing between inside and outside, otherwise you fill up any small enclosed spaces with eucalpytus lemon oil and you start choking on the fumes. Yes, my pants were rapidly deployed outside (I put on other pants, don't worry).
Unnamed tributary of Darby Creek, PA
Mosquitos disappeared when I entered this cold tributary 😊
The water temperature was 3˚C (~6˚F) lower than that at its mouth (Darby Creek), where I was surrounded by many mosquitos even with DEET 😉
While it makes sense, it is a bit strange and very refreshing with cold water – I was wearing sandals 😊
Fallfish and Sunfish are active in Darby Creek, and Creek Cubs were found here.

🦟 Can we prove mosquito repellents actually work? What kind is best?
