Fear West Nile no more. A new line of clothes from Seattle-based Ex Officio
is engineered to
repel insects. The EPA-approved apparel - created in partnership with Buzz
Off Insect Shield, a Greensboro, N.C., company - is treated with permethrin, a
pesticide that occurs naturally in the chrysanthemum plant but can also be
created synthetically. ‘It gives mosquitoes a skull- crushing headache,’ says Ex
Officio’s Rick Hemmerling.”

“German manufacturing company Siemens, has built a machine that looks like the upper body of a
mannequin and uses similar technology to ironing systems employed by
professional clearners and laundries. You just put your shirt overtop and the
shell inflates with hot air and presses the shirt into shape in just 6.5
minutes, as compared to the average of 8 minutes ironing it by hand. It could
take an hour, as far as I’m concerned - anything’s better than ironing by
hand.”
