Yeah, heard of that brand before. I tried contacting them but they never replied. I too used to use Bygon until someone told me it is really bad on the skin. And it makes matters worse as it is keeps other small creatures away, which I wanna photo. But gotta agree with you, if you don want leech, stay at home. So...I will use a leech socks and go take photos, if I get leech bites, it really is part and parcel of the jungle. Hi Forestgump!

I probably looked like a bloody japanese soldier!!! Looks strange too when I was wearing the famed Adidas Malaon@Adidas Kampung! Id rather spray my football socks and shoes with Baygon rather than wearing these so called leech socks as they rip off easily after a few days of in and outs of the water through the jungles. It could be me and it's only my honest opinion. The best way not to get leech is - don't go into the malaysian jungles :-) Have tried a few under the KINABALU equipment brand years ago and it was out of curiosity.
