[QUOTE="jlanecr500, post: 5804173, member: 16430"] I got Lyme disease in 2012. It went undiagnosed for nearly 2 years because two different family doctors refused to believe I had it. It took an inquisitive heart doctor to put the puzzle pieces together and order a western blot test. I reckon I've got it for life now. I've used the dip method for 10 years now and haven't had a single tick bite. In the spring, I dunk all the shirts and pants I plan to wear for turkey.and early deer seasons. The remainder, I put in spray bottles to spray blinds, boots, stands, etc. Several years ago, a fishing buddy wanted enough 36% to mix 3 gallons at .5%. I put it in a bottle, Removed the label and taped the lid shut. Well, he opened and smelled it on his way home and put it in a drink holder. Upon pulling into his driveway, he chugged a couple mouthfuls before stopping. He called me and told me what happened and I freaked out. I started researching and found that the human body produces an enzyme the rids the body of permethrin before it can be harmful. He was just getting over chemo and I expected the worst. He had no ill effects. Just an FYI, we mix to .5% but the cream doctors prescribe for scabies is 5%, ten times stronger. One thing I'd like to mention, When giving mixing directions, always state 10% concentrate or 36% concentrate. [ATTACH type="full"]209435[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
