I’m tired of mosquitos biting me. If i can’t stop them biting me, the next best thing is to stop them biting me a second time. So what’s the best (safe for me) way to make myself poisonous to mosquitos, and optionally other bugs that might bite me?

    Permethrin is toxic to cats; however, it has little effect on dogs. Many cats die after being given flea treatments intended for dogs, or by contact with dogs having recently been treated with permethrin. In cats it may induce hyperexcitability, tremors, seizures, and death.

    fyi

      Thanks for the info. I have 3 cats and I was about to look into this.

        That said, prethreated clothing should be fine to have around cats as long as they aren’t actively licking/eating them.

          My cats are a bit special so I wouldn’t put it past them.
