buggy fox fur?

(1/2) > >>

trail walker:
so i just got a hold of a nice frozen red fox from a friend and it has some bugs on it. what would the native Americans to get them off? I do not want to use chemicals if at all possible. do i just smudge it over a low heat fire or something?

Zuma:
Well if the fur or animal is frozen I guess the bugs are dead
and pose no threat to you. Comb or brush them off.

Pat B:
Wash it with Dawn dish soap. The soap will break the water tension and the bugs will drown. Bugs breath through their skin. Any soap will work, maybe even soap weed.

trail walker:
how about yucca? i have some of that.

Pat B:
If it suds up and is used for washing then yes.
