[ot_caving] future mosquito repellants

2008-05-27 Thread David
I posted something about 2 years ago about a new mosquito repellant on the market. Since caver's encounter mosquitos in some karst areas, it is important to have a good repellant - for example certain areas of the Sierra Madres. According to the following web-article, we may have even better

For me, an important thing to consider is how this new repellant works with high-SPF sun block. As a skin cancer patient from years of being an idiot about sun exposure, I have to have something that will not dilute the usefulness of sun block. I didn't see anything in the writeup about that.

I've seen diabetics keep their insulin in the refrigerator. While dumpster diving we recently came across a bunch of sealed humulin samples, injectors and needles from an apparently closed down clinic. Having not been refrigerated, would this stuff be of any use to anyone who uses insulin -WaV

You might want to get in touch with the health department. That should have been disposed of through a medical waste company. Definitely DO NOT use it. You never know how it was stored or what else may be wrong with it. Louise List-Post: texascavers@texascavers.com Date: Tue, 27 May 2008

David, I think if you received radiation equivalent to a 3-year period, you'd probably better stay above ground. Underground is where a big percentage of the radon gas is. Re movies: I sort of agree with the new Indy movie. I liked it on one level, but it was the same ol' same ol' on the
