You even wave a can of those noxious chemicals at me and I'll fit it where the sun don't shine on you.

“Better living through chemistry” is contaminating the gene pool at a very rapid rate.

And for you PC homeowners (and those refurbishing decrepit school buildings in St. Louis city, for example, and other buildings in places like that where kids and adults still suffer lead poisoning):

Not to mention this little automotive product:

That's not to say that to this day the overreaction to and crippling of DDT use, say, was a good thing. It wasn't and it cost many people their lives and caused enormous unnecessary suffering to so many more.

Just put things into their proper context, their proper place.

The whole family goes out and sometimes nobody is bit but her - and ALL over her body. It's awful. I have tried everything that the anti-DEET crowd claims works and so far nothing has been even remotely effective except for sprays with a high percentage of DEET. When this alternative comes on the market I will try it, but I'll believe it when it works for her.
