The mosquitos are back and the back is where they're biting me too; through my t-shirt…

So I went and did it; got myself some #Nobite #Permethrin!

Buuuuut they made it stink...

Why does every insect repellent/insecticide manufacturer feel the need to add these "fragrances"‽

0.1% Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium, ext. Should have looked at the safety sheet before I bought.. (because apparently that's the only place where you're informed that the stuff you're about to buy FUCKING STINKS).

@kim_harding #mites similar to scabies but not requiring intimate contact are a perennial problem here! As the article says, soap and water, forget them. Not human transmitted here - there aren't any! But wild animals, particularly wild pigs and badgers who used to have diggings in the area. Microscopic wind-blown eggs too.

Being allergic also sends early warnings.

Experimenting with using solid oxygen-based bleach in cool laundry now, as hot washes and chlorine-based bleach are so environmentally heavy.

Easily grown Pennyroyal tincture works but highly NOT recommended unless you know what you're doing - lethal by paralysis to humans too! 50% DEET is lethal to them as well as repellent. Veterinary and agricultural #Permethrin is very cheap and available in bulk BUT being very insoluable in water, the cheap sources I've found are dissolved in toxic organic solvents, often including toluene. The low-concentration human pharmaceutical ointments are the scarce rip-off.
