If you remember this -you were an outdoors kid back in the day… if you weren’t an outdoors kid, you were probably eating lead paint chips in the house, same long term affects lol. I can remember the “odorless” smell, greasy feel and mild benefits of applying it. It appears it was discontinued in 1991 for containing 100% Ethylhexandiol (sounds nasty) or (Rutgers 612). Amazing we’re all still here.

Had to have a bottle of that in my new UMCO tackle box my folks bought for my 10th birthday at the Milwaukee Sports Show.

Yep used it back in the day. Surveying in the river bottoms the summer time skeets
were impressive and this stuff really worked to keep them, for the most part from biting.
A side effect though was if you had it on your hands it would melt the paint off the tripod
legs when you picked up to move. End of the day you would have yellow hands and thin
paint on the tripod. Probably was lead based paint that caused the reaction.

It’s a small sample size this morning but I hope it wasn’t isolated to a test on Wisconsin’s Youth. crazy

During Organic chemistry class our Prof went to great lengths of the formula and the reason that it worked keeping mosquitoes at bay.
For some reason they have not been able to break the 4 hour period of it keeping those pest away with different formulas

Yup but I always liked the smell. As a kid, that smell meant I was fishing.

Used it all the time. It tasted terrible and stung when it got in your eyes.


I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

My dad always had some along when we would fish the local quarries that were stocked with trout.
I was never impressed with the stuff as a mosquito repellent.
