"The most important thing that we do at the clinic is to help people prevent insect bites: mosquitoes and ticks and flies. We have available 30% DEET, in several forms and we like to use that in conjunction with Permethrin, which is a fabric insecticide applied to the clothing, it's non-staining, not odorless, but it kills and knocks down mosquitoes. Combination of the DEET and the Permethrin gives you 99% protection against disease carrying bites."
