DEET on exposed skin.

PERMETHRIN for gear and clothes.

Soak or spray clothes and gear with permethrin overnight and let dry full 36 hours before use.

Has worked for me.

Another vote for PERMETHRIN. Check out: https://sawyer.com/products/permethr...ent-treatment/

Used in conjunction with topicals containing DEET, you should get reasonable protection which is as much as can be expected given the environment you will be operating in. NOTE: If you figure out something that offers perfect protection you are morally obligated to share it!

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Agree with Tonyz.

Defense in depth. Pre-treat clothing, 100% DEET especially at points of entry (ankles, belt-line, neck). Maybe something a little less toxic as a general protection (Deep Woods OFF or bug juice)

Having a mosquito hood for times just sitting around or sleeping was handy.
