TESTOMONIE FROM MR. O'NEILL,

AFRICIAN TOUR BELOW.

To whom it may concern,

Before a recent twenty-eight day safari in Tanzania with the Robin Hurt Safari

Company my PH (born and raised in East Africa) e-mailed me to "try and get hold of

something called Skeater Beater" because of circulating rumors that it repelled

tetse. A little research revealed that Skeater Beater is from Virginia, as am I,

and that it is made of lavender, which I like. As for lavender's chances against

tetse, I rated them about like a Daisy Gun's against a Cape Buffalo, but I

obediently bought some anyway.

The Daisy Gun killed the buffalo. Or stopped it, anyway. Skeater Beater is a

pleasant, as said lavender, liquid in a spray bottle. Its ingredients seem

singularly innocuous (no DEET, which is lucky since tetses simply adore DEET). It

would be nice to say that it repels tetses right out of the safari car. This it

does not do. Tetses can still annoy if you wear Skeater Beater.

But they very, very rarely bite. A tetse seems to need to remain on the skin for

several moments before it bites. Actual contact with Skeater Beater seems to be

very unpleasant for tetses--they normally move on. The incident of bites seems to

fall by a ratio of ten or fifteen (my poor PH) to one (me, naturally). That is the

result of a two day experiment in a riverine environment in southern Tanzania, where

tetses were terrible. On the third day the control in the experiment (my PH)

removed himself from it and started using Skeater Beater himself. On previous

safaris I have suffered badly from tetses--so this is no personal immunity.

Tetse bites are, of course, unpleasant. They can also result in serious allergies

(hives), confining the victim to tent. Even this is not to mention Sleeping

Sickness which, when contracted, is a good deal worse than malaria--enough said. I

strongly endorse this product and would not consider going to a tetse area again

without it.

And guess what? It repels mosquitoes, too! Does it deal with Cape Buffaloes? I

don't know yet.
