Pantim on September 24, 2024 10:59 pm What nonsense. Textiles have been blocking bites for THOUSANDS of years. The main issue is that we don’t fully cover our skin. The other lesser issue is that to have full protection you actually also need to wear baggy ish clothing to keep them fully away from your skin. This is exactly like the whole nonsense of UPF (SPF) protective clothing. Normal cotton blocks 99.999% or so of UV rays.
