For some with skin conditions DEET is a real irritant. My Father has Rosacea and can't use anything with DEET. The Skin so Soft brands have worked for me.DEET is the only thing that works for me; Deep Woods Off or whatever, but the Skin So Soft and other less scary (jury is out on whether DEET really is) stuff just doesn't work for me.
Probably old. There are reasons not to use DEET, but "not working" isn't one of them. It gets in your system and it keeps bugs away. That is pretty well established; it will keep bugs away from dead animals. But if it causes you problems from being in your system, then you need something else.Thanks guys, I'm going to give skeeter beater a shot first and then skin so soft. I have been using deep woods, maybe just not enough or maybe its old.
You do realize this is a "fishing" thread.......Guys in LA, Cajun Fishing Adventures, use Autumn Romance by Victoria's Secret The Spray works better than the lotion. I could only get the lotion. You smell like you were at the "Mustang Ranch" but it keeps the bugs off. I had my wife buy it for me, so there would be no questions asked.
