"To see that Tim Berners-Lee recognizes blockchain technology as an evolution will definitely comfort many crypto fanatics today." Bitcoin Exchange Guide Article...
Turns out the Chrysanthemum plants aka "Mums" have a chemical that disables ticks, mosquitos and other bugs. The synthetic form of this was developed back in the 70's and is called Permethrin. It's rated as safe by the FDA, and it's not very easily absorbed or toxic to humans,
It's recommended you spray pure Permethrin on the outside of your clothing not your skin because it can cause itching and redness on some people although there are some products designed to be used that way. Ticks are incapacitated from biting You, and soon die from contact with permethrin. Before we head out on an excursion, we spray our longsleeve cotton shirts liberally, and let them dry over night, You can buy Permethrin spray a lot of places. Just google it.

Whether Snorkeling in the Caribbean, or Trucking through the Amazon jungle, We've found 100% cotton is best for staying cool and protected from UV rays and insects. if You spray your shirt with an environmentally friendly bug gagger like Citronella, it will be more effective against mosquitos, and last longer than if You'd sprayed it on your skin.

I hadn't thought to bring a long sleeve shirt for our overnight jungle River tour, and odds were there wasn't a shirt for sale with long sleeve's within a thousand miles that could fit me. It wasn't until the next day that the bites started to itch..Next time, needless to say I'll be bringing a long sleeve shirt from the States...Live and learn. |
First time I got to go on an international snorkel/dive trip was to Belize in 1981. I was fifteen and we drove down in a Datsun Pickup full of dive gear, and a portable compressor, back then it was hard to find a place to fill your scuba tanks, years later I decided it was time to take a break from my Job and see Belize through a greybeards eyes, to say that San Pedro Belize has changed is an understatement, they even have a hyperbaric Facility. I will post here about snorkeling,traveling, and stuff that happens along the way. Thank You for visiting! Burnie Archives
