minus-squareFartsWithAnAccentlinkfedilink7•edit-22 months agoNever apply DEET to your clothes, that is what permethrin is for and it works great! Put it on all your outdoor clothes/gear! DEET works great but is only for skin, let it dry first too.
minus-square@brbposting@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish4•2 months agoPermethrin on shoes and clothes, DEET on skin?
minus-square@jaschen@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish7•2 months agoI 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.
minus-square@brbposting@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 months agoOoof. Silver lining, maybe the fee was cheaper than the healthcare after a bad bite. Did you pay something?
minus-square@jaschen@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoNo, I actually didn’t notice until after I already left. I was wondering why my leg has melted plastic on it. Lol
minus-squareFartsWithAnAccentlinkfedilink1•2 months agoYep, DEET will melt synthetic stuff: Let it dry on your skin before you do anything and for clothes/gear use permethrin
minus-square@jaschen@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 months agoIt was dry, but I started sweating and it became liquid again.

This is the way.
