Bug bites

Hi guys. Warning - if you have cats when you are spraying your gear with permethrin at home, make sure the cats are out of the room / away from the sprayed gear. It is highly poisonous to cats and can be fatal. Check out https://icatcare.org/permethrin for more info (in various languages).
