I'm talking about the mosquito repellant generated by a propane gas cylinder heating up a cloth pad soaked in a chemical solution.
First, does it really keep the mosquitos away?
But, more importantly, to me, how safe is it for the person using it? I mean, if it produces fumes that are toxic to mosquitos, what is that stuff doing to you!?
I usually "camp out" in my p/u truck when I deer hunt, just kicking back the bucket seat to sleep. If I use the Thermacell to keep the mosquitos away while I sleep, don't I run the risk of breathing in toxic fumes?
