Neighbors Sneer At Autan & Off

Beto calls them
Salzanadores para zancudos y jejenes

My kid laughs when somone smears it on and 8 hours later looks like a pincushion.

Rio Chuta I slathered on Autan. A human oil slick. A tabano came in for a landing on my knee slid sideways an inch or two then CHOMP right through the shiny oil coating.

¡Basta Ya!

Next trip to gringolandia went to Wal-Mart and bought 100% DEET. One single solitary DROP in the palms and rub rub rub all over exposed skin. No drop #2 just one drop.

For crisis conditions when jejenes hatch after high waves leave puddles on the beach PENNYROYAL OIL atop the DEET stops them, pulgas y garropatas cold. One single droplet of Pennyroyal Oil used exactly the same way as 100% DEET.

Friends and neighbors (Mexicanos) beg to buy this stuff from me when I return. Some of them are also mosquito antojitos. Never heard of Jungle Juice sounds interesting. But DEET and pennyroyal oil means zero picas. Amparo told me last spring ot was the first Mayo in her life she had no bites. Not even at the enramadas at dusk after a major jejene hatch. It seems some people can apply ditch water and not get bit - I wish I was that lucky.

But tell Brenda or Andrea they're nut - they only need Autan and you stand a good chance of getting bonked over the head with a 2kg sarten. Both own enramadas.

If you don't need 100% DEET or pennyroyal oil don't use either.
