stumfelter 3,034 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Hi guys, just a quickie that might help someone out. Bought some army surplus mtp trousers today and on the label it said insect repellant treated, treated with Permethrin. Looked on the web and apparently the yanks have been using this on their clobber for years, protects against fleas, ticks, mites etc. Seems a cheap way to get some protection in tick infested areas that people encounter, deer stalking etc. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I don't know a lot about toxics, but I know enough not to get Permethrin next to my skin. Just because the yanks do it does not make it safe. TC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,628 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 I wear army trousers all the time, main reason is there is something in them that stops shit from sticking to them, I am in general a scruffy man and seem to find dirt even in places dirt does not excist so a pair of trousers that just brush off when dry is a must, but I still get peppered by mozzies more than most people around me, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
