ozone treatment
- Thread starter kenn1320

I just received may ozone generator and in the instruction manual it talks about gargling ozonated water to kill microorganisms that cause bad breath. You gargle with the ozonated water every day after you brush your teeth. I'm going to brush with Arm&Hammer tooth paste it has baking soda and peroxide and than rinse ozonated water. To test this idea I will eat some of my deer stick that have lot of garlic then brush and rinse and see if my wife will let me kiss.
Red I bought the same generator that you have and it is hard to believe that the 1/4" opening can get the job done in the times they give.

You will be surprised how much ozone that little thing can generate.
I don't use ozone on my clothes.
But I have one of these with a hole drilled in it for the tube: https://www.amazon.com/IRIS-4-Piece...740100&sr=8-14&keywords=iris+airtight+storage
Whatever equipment I want to hit with ozone just goes in there. The longest setting for my machine is 20 minutes per hour. Some times I'll just run it for 1, sometimes I'll run it for a few cycles. Whenever I take it out everything smells very "fresh" is the only way to put it.
I just wash my clothing in scent free detergent. I use lots of scentlok so I regenerate that in the dryer per their recommendations. I don't feel the need to use ozone on my clothes because I do that. And ozone breaks down rubber so if there are any rubber seals on your clothing it will ruin them.
I want to get some scentlok but I wish they had different camo patterns. I like the open patterns much more. I know it doesn't matter as much 20-25 feet up but I do some ground hunting and hog hunting and it would be nice to have.

Which unit was that? If I do Ozone, I like the idea of the tube so I can put it through a hole in a tub.

Ive read about this, but not sure where to get it. I sat a stand where the deer could of come from any direction and they did. I normally set up to avoid those situations, but this area wasnt one of them. I got winded 3 times, one of which was by a doe walking back to bed about 80yds down wind.
Amazon has a thousand different kinds. I bought this one but have no idea whether it works or not because I keep forgetting to take it.

Yes, I have used natures way before - it works great. I now use sunny green just because I found it cheaper. I try to take200mg per day, starting two weeks before the season.
For ozone machines, I bought the fire angel from eBay. It definitely kills human odors. I do use it on both clothes and gear - especially if I can't hang stuff outside to dry.

Yes, I do think liquid chlorophyll works better than the pills but it also cost more per dose, I found.

There was an interesting article decades ago by a Vitnam vet. He stated the US dropped sensors into strategic areas and it sensed non-meat eating scents from the Vietnam Cong who rarely ate red meat. When our troops patrolled these areas they would dine on hearty portions of red meat. He claimed he went vegetarian during hunting season for this reason.
I use a small bee keepers smoke pot to saturate my skin and cloths near to stand entrance. Indians used wood smoke as primary scent control. If you're downwind it don't matter what you smell like.
Interesting.

Although I am going to nose dive into the extreme side of scent control for next year, I think location and specific deer determine how strick you need to be.
On my 27 acre property I have a doe that births her fawns and beds yearly within my property. (for the last three years she's had twin bucks) It's pretty common to have her and her fawns in my back lawn, which I had to promised my wife not to shoot her ever. Anyways I have one box stand set up on a food plot it doesn't have a roof just a piece of plywood on the front to block leg movement. Almost every night her and her fawns would come into the food plot regardless of wind direction. In four years I've never shot at her or done anything to create fear. There were a few times I would stand and move on purpose just to see what would happen. She would look up and watch, flick her tail and continue eating. I've gotten out of the stand with her there and she would run off 50 yards and watch. This year she didn't even run away she would just pick her head and watch. But once last year I had a friend that came to visit and wanted to go "hunting" so we went and sat in that stand, the wind was completely wrong. She came out for her nightly routine got to 200 yards away smelled the air and ran off. I didn't see her for a week on my camera. Another funny thing is if I hunt any of my other stands on my property and she comes in down wind she will spook. Which leads me to believe if you hunt someplace where there is typically less human scent deer have very little tolerance, even one that is conditioned to your specific scent.

There is a lot of merit to this. Those deer are pretty smart and good at surviving. I do a lot of bow hunting in county park programs. The deer are used to people walking the trails and they'll often stand there and watch the person go by if they don't stop. They know if they encounter someone off the trails or spot a hunter in a tree that something is wrong and they are out of there. My father feeds the deer in the backyard so he can watch them on the camera. A couple years ago he had a button buck who would come to him when he went out to feed. He could stand there at 5 yards and talk to him. He never associated that with danger so it was ok. I'm sure if he saw him in the woods things would have been much different.
