Guest guest Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 These are my homegrown formulas that, while they cured nothing, returned me to a much more sane lifestyle. I have used these recipes for over a decade with great success. Do I still get bitten? Movement? Yes, but not very often or very badly. Nothing like the 12 a minute ice pick bites I was getting before I found these products and put them together (after many many previous failed experiments). In addition, the three products are very inexpensive:CLOTHES AND BODY SPRAYIn a quart spray bottle3/4 Cup Foot and Hoof Rot spray1/2 to 1 tsp of Legacy Herbs Insect RepellentFill bottle with waterShake before sprayingBODY LOTIONIn a 3 qt plastic milk pitcher. Need a large funnel and large wire whisk2 qts Lustre brand Pink Oil3/4 Cup Foot and Hoof Rot Spray1 to 2 tsp Legacy Herbs Insect RepellentFor those who do not have a reaction to Lustre brand Pink Oil, of all the lotions and oils I have tried (countless dollars wasted) this is the only one that has ever, ever stopped the crawling and biting - WHEN MIXED WITH THE TWO INGREDIENTS ABOVE. Detailed instructions: In a 3-quart plastic milk pitcher I use only for this purpose, I mix two 16 oz bottles of Pink Oil, 1 to 2 tsp of Legacy Herbs Insect Repellent, and 3/4 Cup of the pink solution. I use a large funnel and turn the Pink Oil bottles upside down to drain them, then use the funnel to put a little of the pink solution in them, swish around, and then I can get the rest of the Pink Oil out. I use a large (cheap) wire whisk to mix, then pour into a melamine pasta bowl (very wide mouth, narrow at the bottom to concentrate the last of the mixture when it is getting low). I scoop the lotion out and can cover my whole body quickly. I use a liberal amount and allow it to soak in / dry for a few minutes before dressing in the evening after a shower and again before dressing for work. I mostly wear lined suits, which keep the lotion from coming through. For my lighter clothing I am partial to busy prints (they have to be cute too, of course :-) to hide the pink stain that often makes it through the fabric.
