I've never used the cream, I always use the spray and I've never noticed it discolouring anything. I'm not sure how big your dog is but you might be able to at least use the spray on your upper body.

edit: a quick search says a lethal dose of DEET is over 1,000 mg per kilogram (2.2pounds) of body weight. Doing some very simplified math a 100mL bottle of 30% Muskol would have something like 30,000mg of DEET in the whole bottle, so a 70lb dog would have to drink the entire bottle for it to be lethal. Considering there's only going to be 1-2mL per spray (say 300-600mg) and it tastes awful I highly doubt a dog would lick enough off someone to get even slightly sick, let alone die.

No shit............ when I went through the prairies, I saw insects that looked like they didn't belong in this part of the galaxy.


I was at Mission Raceway Park a week ago, and it was brutal. They're small compared to the monsters out in the prairies, but they are vicious and relentless. The fokkers must have sucked blood out of some weird creatures, 'cause I had a bad reaction started to puff up. You swipe one and they explode with some other person's blood........... SPLAT!!!! eeeewwwwww..............


I was wearing jacket, hoodie, gloves, etc. Still got bitten in the legs, arms, etc. They must have like Super Saiyan Borg assimilation tubules.

Is there some cheap Chinese store that sells them for cheaper?

The $ store or $ramma or $tree should have them.

"Hey Rob how can you live in Sask with 6 months of snow?"
"What do you mean? The snow is great, it kills all the mosquitos"

Not really sure how far mosquitoes will travel, but we've got an outdoor goldfish pond and they eat a lot of mosquito larvae, the amount of mosquitoes at our home have decreased a lot over the last few years

goldfish?



the only pet I ever had........... killed it. I was eating a hot dog over the bowl when some relish fell into the bowl. Darn fish ate it. Died soon after. RIP, my friend. I think I was like 6 or 7.



I think you mean Koi (carp).

coneZONE 07-11-2017 12:02 AM

nooo, they're goldfish, like the ones you catch at the night market, literally. There's a few of the original fishes that I caught in 2009 or so

Funny enough though, they have similar colour patterns as koi do

nothing to prevent them,but if those fuckers bite you and you're itching like a bitch.....Tea tree oil works wonders on stopping the itch...i haven't tried the stop the itch push on that smell like hardcore alcohol. but randomly put on tea tree oil and got rid of all itching.
