I hate spraying bug repellent all over me. I stand there holding my breath, squinting my eyes and dreading the fact that I have to put this stuff on. I propose a disposable bug repellent wipe. I have found one for horses and even one that was a cloth, known as "Jungle Wipes", but nothing disposable that I could pull out of a package like a kleenex for generalized human use. The idea and concept is simple. You could even trust a four year old kid to use the thing correctly. I wonder if there are some health and/or safety issues that prevent this from being manufactured?

I, for one, would rather spray away rather than have a wipe I need to get rid of. Disposable wipes, in the worst sense of the concept, would lead to litle bits of garbage all over the woods.

If you really can't spray a bit of repllent in your hand and spread it on your face you could use a washcloth.

Hyenuf it is true, odd as it may be, I really do not like to spray suspected carncinogens into my face- especially in a breathable medium. But you are right, some people would leave them laying all over many camp sites and this planet has enough garbage on it. Perhaps a cream based product would address the issue more correctly.

Excellent idea. Having individual wipes with repellent would be very convenient. I could throw a couple in my glove box, a couple in my tackle box, a couple in my lunch box, a couple in my lawn tractor seat, a couple in my backpack, a couple ....

Excellent idea !!!

They currently have this in stores.

I have used both spray and cream repellents. The spray is much faster to use. A disposable wipe would probably be faster than the cream, though maybe not as fast as the spray.
