minus-squareFartsWithAnAccent@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-27 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-squarejaschen@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·7 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-squarebrbposting@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 months agoOoof. Silver lining, maybe the fee was cheaper than the healthcare after a bad bite. Did you pay something?
minus-squarejaschen@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 months agoNo, I actually didn’t notice until after I already left. I was wondering why my leg has melted plastic on it. Lol
