I’m afraid to ask what’s in it. Especially with that inset photo where she’s using a mouth dispenser.

So, you have to buy a pump yourself ? or just open the can, let it in the room and fly tox just work out of the can ?

I don’t know. I have a vague recollection of there being some kind of trigger and nozzle attachment for things like this.
