Yes it was... my brother Dan Delgado from Cuba New Mexico was stationed there and said it was all over that area. As a matter of fact he said it was a common practice as it fell from the sky to wipe it like a lotion to keep the mosquitos from biting them. It was also heavily used just to the east and north east at Camp Base Oasis, Plei Kleng, Ben Het, Dak To and Dak Pec.
