Highly academic and I am sure peer evaluated. The 13 scents men will wear also touches on reality!

Interesting, I use a coconut oil liquid soap and last Saturday I used the soap in the morning. Very few mosquitos or gnats all day. Saturday night I used my son's liquid fuu fuu soap and lots of bugs sunday. I'll report back after Memorial weekend.

Thanks for the info, Bigfoot Dave (C-Dory)

Back in 65-67, when I was a young Army troop in Thailand, we followed the British example and drank allot of gin and tonics. It must have worked for a while at least, because I didn't get my first malaria attack until after I left Thailand and was headed home on a C-141(with nothing to drink :cool: )! I know there is always wise guy somewhere-but the British Empire lasted along time.

Undoubtedly, it was the quinine in the tonic and the drink was an excellent delivery mechanism.

kmacafee, I was thinking the same thing. Smoke, are you keeping up with the treatments?
