Don’t know what to tell you, except that I spent a whole lot of time on and along rivers in Alabama summers with a light spray of that stuff and never got bothered, while people around me were constantly swatting.
Maybe I’m just one of those lucky immune folks. Maybe I only heard about it because my mother was in the pocket of Big Avon. But I can guarantee my info was neither from social media (which didn’t exist at the time) or “soft Telly” (which I didn’t watch).
