Every summer for the past 3 years my daughter has had a job as a tree-planter so we are always looking for ways to repel mosquitos. She has used citronella oil and eats as much raw garlic as she (and her fellow planters) can stand.
I will tell her about the lavender. She has chemical sensitivities so we need solutions that don’t involve chemicals.
Thank you for the excellent information.

Regards,
Kathy

Maybe that’s why I’m lucky enough to be left alone. I hate (and I mean hate) bananas – yes even Dr. Erika is allowed to dislike one natural food!

I find that if I leave bananas alone and take Vitamin B regularly that I’m not nearly as attractive to mosquitoes. Not sure why this works but it was recommended to me years ago because I used to be the girl with a cloud of those pesky biters around me. Since I learned this secret the cloud dissipated!

Thanks for the lavender idea. I love lavender and this is another great reason to use it!

Warm regards,
