It has been raining and raining in the Chicagoland area lately. One of these days the clouds will move out and the sun will reappear. Along with the sun, mosquitos will be on the move for food...US!
DEET is a chemical that works well on repelling mosquitos. However, our skin is the largest organ we have. DEET will absorb into the skin and into our blood stream. Again...it is a very strong, dangerous chemical. So, you might want to reconsider lathering it on yourself or your loved ones.
Here are some natural ways to repell mosquitos! TIPS!! Try them and see how they work.
Let's have a healthy, safe summer...mosquitos and all!
