    Masked up to spray our trekking clothes with Permethrin!

    Bugs Away

    27 de abril de 2021, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F

    I mentioned previously that Alaska has a “state bird” called the mosquito 🤪.

    We had no problems with these pesky critters when we visited mainland Alaska in August 2010. But it was a whole different ballgame when we were there in June 2001. Mui still “un-fondly” remembers being bitten on the head — wearing a hat no less — while we were hiking to Thunderbird Falls on the outskirts of Anchorage.

    Sure, we have bug jackets and Deet if the mosquitoes are really bad, But we also sprayed our trekking clothes with Permethrin so that we don’t have to use Deet every time we go outdoors. The spray lasts through a number of washings, so we should be good with this protection.

    I had a permethrin jacket and trousers for Rwanda and they also repelled black flies; I was the only one in the group on whom they didn't land. What was ironic is that the Permethrin was grown in Rwanda; we saw the fields. [Brenda Gorman]
