    Yesterday, a #horsefly almost succeeded at biting through my sock.
    I had actually sprayed my sock with #icaridin but apparently I missed a spot. I felt it bite and gave it a good ol' clap but ugh; I don't want to have to think about this..

    I see this as a declaration of war: Time to treat my clothing with #permethrin!

    This stuff is kinda expensive though: one 12€ bottle for 4 T-Shirts.
    Is it possible to apply it partially? Like, just the shoulders of your shirt where it lays flat on your skin?
