On my first trip to Alaska, I brought (and applied) a generous amount of DEET. It didn't seem to work very good.
On my most recent trip, I used a fair amount of "Avon Skin-So-Soft." It actually worked a hell of a lot better than the DEET, and my skin also benefited ... besides getting a few "cat calls" from the Locals, which heightened my self-esteem ..
Can anybody else share a similar experience with them nasty skeeters? What say YOU?
