Mites and PAM...What You Need To Know.
Earlier I was updating and editing some of my "canned replies" when I came across this one that I made a while back. I created it to clear up a common confusion, but haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, so I figured I would just post it anyway.

A Tale of Two PAMs... by Vypyrz
One of the most common misunderstandings that I see is the confusion caused when PAM is recommended in regards to Mite treatment. Most people are familiar with PAM, the cooking spray. However, in the reptile world PAM is the abbreviation for the mite treatment product Provent-A-Mite.
The two PAM's...

This is the PAM that you use for reptiles...
Provent-A-Mite is a Permethrin based spray made by Pro-Products. It is used to eradicate and prevent mite and tick infestations on reptiles.

Not this...
PAM is a Canola oil based spray made by Con-Agra Foods. It is used to allow that fried egg to slide all around the pan while you chase it with a spatula, only to have it end up on the floor :(
