    My daughter DEFINITELY does not like to use DEET on her children, girls 4 and almost 2. I am certainly going to tell her about this method...she will be so pleased to hear about it!!

    We have some acreage in the Sierra Nevada that my husband and I are preparing to live on when he retires. Unfortunately we have swarms of hungry mosquitos in the spring and summer months. Last year I actually got sick from putting on DEET every day to ward off the mosquitos. In fact, it got to the point where I felt like West Nile Virus would be better than the DEET toxicity I was experiencing - headaches every day, jitters, upset stomach, shortness of breath. Then I discovered the oil of lemon eucalyptus - what a Godsend! It does tingle a bit when I am hot and sweaty in the sun, but I have found that is the only offset. I also found it on sale at that big box store that Sam started ;). I hope we can find more of these environmental and humankind friendly solutions!

    I would like to find these plants and plant them in my yard. Also, what are some products that have this ingredient in it?


    Thanks

    This is helpful to use more natural products.
