Question:
I am going to Zambia (Africa), for some camping. What is the best mosquito
tent, & the best discount place to get it? (store or Internet)
What is the best anit-mosquito repellant, DEET product? I saw some
non-DEET stuff at Target, is it just as effective?
In Turkey, I just slept on a air-bag with a towel for blanket, see

TIA for any help
Answer:
If you want get more protection than just DEET get something with the
ingredient Permethrin in it and spray it on all your gear. It is available
at Walmart (just read the ingredients of the spray). It is NOT meant for use
on the skin, only on clothing,gear,camping area. The good thing is a decent
application will keep mosquitos away up to 2 weeks. Which is especially
imporantant when you consider the mosquitos in africa carry malaryia.. you
might want to get some military surplus stuff used to treat malaryia.
