  Never apply DEET to your clothes, that is what permethrin is for and it works great! Put it on all your outdoor clothes/gear!

  Permethrin on shoes and clothes, DEET on skin?

    I had DEET on my skin and sat in a UBER and my leg was sitting against the door of the car. After I left, I took paint and plastic with me on my leg after a 15 min ride.

      Yep, DEET will melt synthetic stuff: Let it dry on your skin before you do anything and for clothes/gear use permethrin

        It was dry, but I started sweating and it became liquid again.

      Ooof.

      Silver lining, maybe the fee was cheaper than the healthcare after a bad bite. Did you pay something?

        No, I actually didn’t notice until after I already left. I was wondering why my leg has melted plastic on it. Lol

    This is the way.

  DEET scarred my water bottle, but it’s no biggie because I’ve scarred it worse by dropping it.
