One decade ago, putting on DEET...especially on children, was akin to swimming in your toilet, and was compared to child abuse.

Now...use DEET! If you don't...you should be locked up!

I never stopped wearing it, because I knew full well those insisting it would kill me had a financial incentive to sell creams and sugar water that don't work. There are millions of Africans who would say the same thing about DDT...if they were still alive, having died from malaria. The best we can do is these stupid nets, which work badly, I suppose, until you roll over, or they tear.


Good points all around. We all know al hates bald eagles, so this was simply the next logical step. We also know the things African kids really need is more chemicals applied to them (those damn African kids and their extravagant hot lunches). I can see al applying a healthy layer of deet prior to getting into bed with mrs. al. The hallucinations probably help the entire process pass by quickly.
