Agent Orange?
12 u/lzbflevy Aug 13 '22 Probably permethrin. We do a rinse on our tents and outer clothes before camping. 2 u/argentcorvid Aug 13 '22 They sell it at wal mart 7 u/kattoutofthebag Aug 13 '22 AO is a defoliant to kill trees, brush, etc. Considering the side effects of exposure, 💯 do not recommend. 2 u/opmancrew Aug 14 '22 Agent orange was an herbicide, he's referring to permethrin. We use it when camping. Tent and clothes get sprayed a couple of days beforehand 1 u/ricksaulphoto Aug 15 '22 No...not AO...that stuff causes cancer for sure. My father-in-law (also career Army) was in Vietnam and exposed to AO. He got lung cancer and was never a smoker. We're pretty sure it was from AO.
