Wipe my (apparently dry) hands over the important spots: back of neck,
behind ears, around ear hole, back of hands, ankles. I NEVER put it on
my face or near my eyes.
Wash the palms of my hands carefully.

Imagine that is radioactive, and treat it accordingly.

Never, ever go to Labrador in July. There are things far worse than
radioactive poisoning, and the combo of black flies/noseeums/mosquitos
is enough to drive animals into the water to escape them. The only
thing that really works is pure deet. Wear long sleave shirt, cotton
or capiline turtleneck or a buff. Put the deet on your face/ears,
wash your hands and put on fingerless gloves. Spray your hat with
deet. Now you are all set to fish all day.

The black flies of Maine are choir boys compared to what you find in
Labrador.
