What brand and in what form, spray or lotion?
Do you combine products? DEET or percaridin on the skin and permethrin on clothing and boots?
Cold weather is the best repellent.
Gotsta go with DEET, Ben's 30% spray is my jam. But, you know, Picaridin's got its own vibe too. Permethrin's the real game-changer though, spray it on my 'fit and I'm good to go! Combo's the move, DEET on skin, permethrin on gear, and I'm bug-free

Fucking chiggers...if they were the size of houseflies, you'd be dead right now.With all the rain that we received earlier this year, the chiggers seem to be the worst problem in my area of Texas. Followed by mosquitos.
Received at least 80 chigger bites on my legs after helping a friend clear weeds and trim back shrubs/trees on his property this last weekend. This is something I've helped with several times over the past few years. In the past, I always commented how surprised I was that we didn't get eaten up by ticks, chiggers mosquitos. Especially since he has a lot of deer and hogs on his property. The chiggers made up for that this time.
After this last weekend, I think that I'll bathe in repellant before going out there again. Luckily I had some Triamcinolone Acetonide cream that I could apply to the bites. It takes the edge off the itching and pain. Alternating antihistamines like cetirizine hydrochloride and chlorphenamine also seems to help. But that first day after the bites flared-up, I was pretty miserable.
