Re: MOSQUITOES

Wow..I've never heard of that either...I've heard that Rosemary and
Lavender essential oils, mixed in with some Witch Hazel as a spray will
help...but not vanilla. I'm gonna have to try that one. Thanks.

I think I suggested this a year or so ago and recieved a very negative

here goes again. A teaspoon of pure vanilla extract in half a cup of water 
used as a 
spray will repel mosquitoes. Or more simply, I just dab myself with the 
straight stuff 
around my eyes, ears, back of the neck, etc. Since I usually wear long 
sleeves - I
sunburn so badly if I don't - I don't have to worry about arms etc. It does 
work, and 
the smell is pleasant. I am so allergic to most anything that comes in a 
bottle or tube - 
can't use most cosmetics at all - that I'm always looking for natural 
sources.
