Re: MOSQUITOES


Auralie is right...after her suggestion last year I did try this as well
as spray it on the screens on my doors to keep the little buggers from
coming in the house when we went in or out and it does work well.

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