Faggot here, my grandpa always told me burning green shit like leaves or pine needles keeps bugs and ticks away... Any truth to it?
>>
... smoke keeps bugs away, yes.
It also makes it hard to breathe.

I see..

A smokey fire will keep flying pests away because they don't like to breath smoke.

It won't do shit to keep ticks and crawling pests away.
>>
You know what REALLY keeps ticks and other ground based parasites away? Burning down the forest. Give it a try
>>
>>717967
Yes smoke keeps mosquitos, bees, and other flying bugs away. Ticks are best repelled by permethrin, deet, and daily checks.

I'm confused, what does being gay have to do with this?

fugg, does this mean I have the lyme now?
>>
>>717967
insects breath directly through their skin. make an environment that is smokey, and insects can no longer breath through their skin so they fuck off.

you burn green stuff because it makes the most smoke. just dont burn anything whose smoke is toxic to you.

>>718255
>55

you do now.
>>
>>718251
Well, if you make a smoke in enclosed space, then smoke should reach the floor, right?

>>718357
Sure, but it would also smoke you out too
>>
>>717967
Yeeee nigga burn that green dank dank supa kush 420blaze it faggot... Woo woo!

When I smoked cigarettes, that also kept the bugs away. Now I'm healthier and the bugs are back :/
>>
>>718357
>floor
it's called the ground when it's outside
>>
If you burn anything with fragrance it will keep bugs away. Bugs hate fragrance.
>>
>>719144
Which fragrance ? Jubilation XXV?

>>717967
The more practical question is if I smoke my clothes and take a smoke bath, will it keep bugs away? Can't hike with a smokey torch, that's retarded.
>>
>>718204
Spiders hate smoke
>>
>>719227
I was implying fragrant plants
>>
>>717977
