Hi, here are some prior posts on bug rellent:

Yes, according to my book mosquitos are repelled by B vitamins,

especially

thiamine, which are excreted through the skin. Foods rich in this are:

brown rice, brewer's yeast, blackstrap molasses, fish (leaving out wheat

germ). Or you can take supplements.

Natural insecticides to keep bugs at bay are goldenseal, tea tree oil,

garlic, brewer's yeast (rubbed on skin).

Also, sugar will cause the skin to give off a sweet smell that attracts

mosquitos (for that matter anything sweet smelling, perfume, cosmetics

etc).

Hi Hope all is well getting ready for camping, I know how hectic

that can be. This is the repelent I use for my son Mason. It is NOT a

spray, it is a lotion. It works great but stinks like the dickens. it

is called ALL TERRAIN

it contains no deet. The ingredients are as follows:citronella

oil,peppermint oil,cedar oil,lemongrass oil,geranium

oil,water,aloe,glycerin(it is coconut based),beeswax,soybean

oil,sorbitol,xanthum gum,silica,propylparaben,methylparaben.

It is gluten free, the company states it is corn free (minus xanthum

gum), but due to the methyparaben and sorbitol, I am leery on the

corn free base so I just put it on my sons clothes. It works like a

charm. but remember, it smells STRONG!!!

hope this helps. Oh, for a 4oz. bottle it is $7.45

Jen,

I bought mine at a local HFS, but I found the web site for

them....it is www.allterrainco.com
