I for one don't take everything an authority says at face value. The 'Authorities' can be quite lax about OUR health. When deploying overseas I was issued with one and a half years worth of Doxycycline, to be taken daily to prevent Malaria (18 months on a stiff antibiotic FFS!!!) and concentrated Permethrin to wash all my uniforms in weekly, again to kill mossies.
The only thing I did use that permethrin for was painting the window sills and door surrounds with, to kill any attempting to get into the house. That and wearing long trou and shirts all day every day, despite the weather screaming for T shirt and shorts!
The blowie in the Alpine environment truly is a marvel. There on the scene just after the bullet arrived. What the f@ck did they live on before deer and guns came along????
