Doc Forgey Welcomes
the Boy Scouts of America
The fact that mosquitoes, ticks, flies and even
water can spread disease -- very serious diseases -- is well known by everyone in the scouting community. Recently
very effective and safe ways have been developed to prevent the spread of disease and to make us more comfortable
during outdoor activities. These include safe formulations of DEET in a controlled release insect repellent, a
very effective clothing treatment, and a personal water filter in a bottle.
Controlled Release formula insect
repellent helps protect the skin
from the DEET, yet keeps mosquitoes and ticks from biting. And you only have to apply it every 12 hours.
A permethrin tick repellent application to clothing, tents, and sleeping bags cuts down on biting and effectively
prevents ticks and chiggers from biting. This stuff really lasts on your clothes. One application lasts six washings. Apply Permethrin to your tent, sleeping bag and the rest of your gear for maximum protection.
Water that appears
to be clean may not be safe to drink. It's not always convenient or economical to carry along sufficient quantities
of bottled water. Bottom line, Sawyer®
water bottles provide an economical,
convenient solution to making sure that you have clean, safe water wherever you go. |
