Beware of Bushmans repellent.

[FNQCairns]

It really makes me wonder what the hell we are doing to ourselves with products that are capable of being a paint stripper. Man keeps inventing wonderful new products to repel, kill bugs etc and we find ourselves wondering why the cancer rate in humans accelerates 10 fold every couple of years? Hmmmm.

Poodroo

YES if we cannot be bothered to choose a path through the myriad of everyday less than 'safe' products pushed to us as OK to risk according our regulators, smoking in comparison is far from the unsafe practice it is compounded to be in comparison, but still genetics is the big leveler and our Australian regulators only saving grace.

Thousands of studies have been done on DEET. 1st developed for use in world war 2.

DEET is 100% safe to use on your skin provided you dont coat it on everyday for months on end.

The Army uses Bushman as its recognized as the best repellant on the market.

Any of you every tried to fish a far north QLD estury in summer without busham on? No other repellent works as well. Yeah it melts plastic and you have to be careful. Use the gel and not the spray as you dont get over spray. But its totally safe for short term use(2-3weeks)

But if your fishing where the sandflies are really bad you'll be glad you bought it. Aerogard,rid etc just dont cut the mustard...

I couldn't agree more on the effectiveness ...... I've fished some of the creeks up Hinchinbrook way .... & by the second day everyone is looking for my Bushmans , rather than using their Tropical strength Aeroguard & Rid ...... now .. They just buy bushmans ( It also was recommended for PNG.... by the expats)

Go to Bushmans site if you're thinking of buying. The gel is over 3 bucks cheaper than bcf.......even with postage.........and the nice guys there send you heaps of mozzy stickers

I found the old stuff was brutal, melt the paint of lures and leave not only you lure looking great but the bottom on your tackle box looking a bit worse for wear. However i have used the new bushmans and found it to be great. But if there is something else out there i would love to know about it. I have recently using the "Off" product and would have to give it the thumbs up.

Melts the arms of your glasses too, but I swear by it as a repellent.......bought 8 tubes (direct) to take up to Scotland in June.............if you think the sand flies and mozzies are bad here............those midges beat 'em hands down...........no wonder Scotsmen are always angry
