[pct-l] DEET alternatives

[yogihikes at sbcglobal.net (yogi)]

I have to believe that anyone who is "DEET averse" 
has not walked through the Sierra or through Oregon 
after the snow melt.  I've seen the most granola-hippie 
hikers practically beg for DEET from other hikers in 
the Sierra.

For those that are DEET adverse, I've just started trying cutter 
advanced (picaridin). So far in light tick areas I've come out tick 
free. I haven't tried it yet in the normal heavy tick areas nor mesquito 
areas. My wife has tried the the lemon eucalyptus and found it just 
doesn't last long enough besides the smell is worse than DEET. So far 
the only place I've found the cutter advanced is larger Walgreens.
Jerry have you tested Cutter Advanced yet?
