[nagdu] OMG the mosquitoes!

[Becky Frankeberger]

Raven, have you tried vit B. I heard about this and thought it was a dumb
joke. But I lived in PA would literally in one night get dozens of big and
small bites, so what could it hurt. So I tried it before the season and
built up the b in my system. Only a half dozen bites that first summer. A
half dozen or so the second summer. Now I love the evenings so was out all
the time. So no smell and you can wear your favorite perfume withoutclashing
smells, smile.

Just another idea for people bug repellent.

Becky and Jake

I use lemon eucalyptus essential oil as a bug repellent. The Golden Guy
never gets bitten up despite his affinity for playing in the woods and
rolling in the grass, but I get bitten up so I apply the lemon eucalyptus
oil to myself, and it works great.
For the bites, I would use cold-pressed coconut oil to sooth and lavender
essential oil to stop the itch. Other than that, I would leave them alone.
They will go away on their own without being bothered and fussed over.
