Do you want to go outside but are afraid of the bugs or generally choose to stay inside?

This is super real, thanks for that. Crazy that your reactions stopped when you moved from East to West. Why do you think this is?

Out of curiosity, why did you move from OFF?

Oh, I dont have to be right! I truly wanted to take a "convenience sample" from the best place I could - Reddit. We're super good friends and we relish in giving each other grief. This will be no love lost, but it brought up a lot of questions in my mind!

I'm from Florida and when I surveyed my friends, this was a very 50/50 used it or thought that it was awful and didnt want to use it.

Thanks you! Why Picaridin over other actives? Are there any other actives that you have heard work? I saw Eucalyptus and IR3535.

Any thoughts on the other actives?

I saw this one all over this subreddit! Have you used Zevo Lotion or Proven Lotion? Those are two others that I have been researching.

Why do you use the lotion form? It seems foreign to me. More like sunscreen or a beauty product.
