          Comments about Sawyer Permethrin Pump Spray - 12 oz.:

          I bought this before visiting a friend in Ghana. I coated all my clothes before the visit, and used Deet on unprotected skin. She got eaten alive, I only had a few bites. She got Malaria. I did not. I wouldn't use this for every day bugs because of the chemicals, but it was certainly better than Malaria.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Sawyer Permethrin Pump Spray - 12 oz.:

          Permethrins are safer than DEET. Read the EPA and NIH datasheets. With this product the contact with your skin is even less than DEET. DEET must be applied to the skin to be effective. The permethrins are applied to your clothes and stay there. It really does work for 3-6 weeks. Although I do feel sorry for the insects that are killed by the permethrin, I would prefer not to be a host to tick-borne Lyme disease.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Sawyer Permethrin Pump Spray - 12 oz.:

          I usually get eaten alive by mosquitos even with 100% deet. Treated my clothing, used 100% deet on exposed skin and dramatically reduced my bites. I did not like the application procedure and it's toxicity. Also, you can only treat about 1-2 sets of clothing completely. Overall, I would recommend this product.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
