For those unfamiliar “Off” is a brand if insect repellent popular in the USA
Off uses a chemical called deet. It has a checkered past.
Good to know but I was putting the joke in context as Off isn’t sold everywhere.
I understand. Its the same stuff sold under different names. Most of them have the orange can with names like cutters and repel. My uncle swore by colmens version.
Im sayimg Off isn’t sold in all countries so say a Malaysian person might not get the joke without context
I understand. I am not arguing with that in any way.
It’s still checkered. Would never use that shit.
Pretty much everything uses deet. It's one of the only effective repellents.
Icaridin works just as well and is not a neurotoxin.
And doesn't melt plastics, which is another big problem with deet. Interesting, I'll look into it.
