They sprayed with a 30 deet insect repellant. None of the volunteers got bitten. Wait until their completely dry. Not a bad idea. Should you spray those clothes if theyre not effective. If you do the 30 deet, which is what they tested, you can save the 70. If it has the same effect and they werent bit, go for it. Save a little bit of cash. Save a few days. And not get bitten.
