Have never heard of this product. They must not sell it in my area.

For bug protection, I wear long sleeve shirt and pants. There are some fabrics on the market that can keep you cool during the hottest of days and offer prtotection against biting bugs. If I do need deet, it never goes directly on my skin. I'll spray it on my hat and collar to protect my head but never directly on the skin. If the bugs are really bad, I have a light weight mesh suit I can wear.

Nothing is perfect and I will get bit. Was stung by a bee yesterday while wet wading a river. Luckily it was low enough on my leg, I just waded a little deeper and let the cool water take care of the itch.

My wife uses it when she makes out laundry detergent. She uses a cheese grater on it before mixing it in with the other ingrediants she uses to make the laundry detergent.

never heard of it, nut for getting rid of the itch, take rubbing alcohol with either cotton balls, or just pour it over the itch, and it stops it, same with absorbine junior.

Been using Benadryl or generic topical gel and it works great, better than cortizone gels. I take garlic and multivitamins every day and rarely get bitten. The meds are for my significant others.

Sayfu, You know I'm a young'n. You should have seen me fishing the other day. I was jumping from rock to rock like a ballerina on stage in NYC.

buckhunter...and never spilled a drop of your Carling's Black Label.

All yer old wives tale remedies....I can come home, and take my shirt, and pants of, and look like someone shot me with a spreader load of #8's at 30 yds., and I don't feel a thing. I bring along a bottle of Wild Turkey. Somethin about those Spirits that does the trick.

Never used it on laundry, but have used it for years on poison ivy. Always have a bar of it in the house. now that you've mentioned using it for skeeter-bites, I'll have my better-half give it a try so she doesn't scratch 'em till they bleed.

I know on poison ivy, the stuff dries up the blisters pretty quick - a lot quicker than calamine or ivy-dry.

I did hear about another over-the-counter poison ivy remedy, which is supposed to be the best thing out there - haven't tried it yet, but if I happen to get into some again i will. It's called Zanfel, and it's supposed to un-bond the oils from your skin cells. Most of the product reviews I've read rave about the stuff, whti the only ones that don't being folks that probably have it in their blood stream.

I have never used it for fly fishing, but I have used it while serving in the Marine Corps to do laundry in the field when I was overseas. I would think it should work equally well on remote fishing, hunting, and camping trips when space is at a premium. Didn't have a cheeze grater but it shaved up easy with my Kabar.
