Question??

With the rains finally letting up, the sun shining and the mosquitoes hatching, what does one put on first:
Sunscreen or mosquito repellant?
I have the next 10 days off and am leaving to the lake.

Oh Grasshopper!!! You need to climb the mountain for that one ... or is it the red pill or the blue pill ("Is it better to free your mind? Or live in blissful ignorance?")

Would start with clothes first

Then not much left to cover. Couldn't resist
Guess it would depend on what your outdoor activities are and when they occur

If I use sunscreen it goes on right after my thermacell is fired up.

I hafta use Rub-A535 on certain muscles and joints, and for some mysterious reason bugs just hate the stuff. They never bother me much. Although I need OFF once in a while.

Hope this helps.

Evidence has shown that the combination of sunscreen and deer can cause paralysis. But benefits are you can’t feel the bug bites.

The first day you go out put sunscreen first and then the bug juice on your left arm. Then put bug juice first and then the sunscreen on your right arm. You should have your answer in a few hours.

Good call. Always someone thinking over the top on here.
Think I would do the sun screen first. Might suggest try a small sample spot on your body first (preferably not your face or close) to test for a reaction to the two products being applied together. Especially if kids are involved.

I’ve got a dark complexion. First decent sun of the year I’ll go out and roast in it.
Get a bit of a burn but nothing major.
After that I’m good for the year.
Mosquitoes, I’ll take a beating from them. They don’t bother me much.
When they are really bad however I’ll spray a bit of dope on me. Not often though.
