I know it's not even Spring in most of the country but down here in Florida, we get annoying critters all year round. I was just at a wedding Sunday and we were plagued by black flies. I had the forethought to bring some of this and our problem was solved. Ask me doubt some other 'critter fixes!'
So, if you are dreading being plagued by mosquitoes, gnats, and flies when all you want to do is enjoy a bonfire or walk along the beach read this to find out about a 'green' product that can help. Young Living came out with an Insect Repellent that has been tested to repel mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas using 100 percent naturally derived, plant-based ingredients in a pump bottle or convenient individually wrapped remoistened wipes.
Pure sesame oil and a carefully selected blend of essential oils traditionally used for their bug-repellent properties come together to make up all 99 percent of the active ingredients in this formula. The other 1 percent? Vitamin E. That means you can use it on your little ones and not worry about the synthetic chemicals used in many traditional repellents. You’ll also love the pleasant, citrusy aroma and smooth, non-sticky application.
It’s tempting to reach for the store bought, old fashioned, classic insect repellant, but before you do that, flip over the bottle to see if DEET is an active ingredient. DEET is a registered pesticide. It is a member of the Toluene chemical family. Toluene is an organic solvent used in rubber, plastic cements, and paint removers. DEET is absorbed through the skin and can pass into the blood. It can cause allergic skin reactions and eye irritation. A 2013 analysis of about 4,000 DEET-related calls to poison control centers found that 450 people needed medical treatment after applying DEET, and two were fatal. Most cases of seizures, slurred speech, coma, and other serious side effects have occurred in people who ingested DEET or applied it for three or more days in a row or used products with 95 percent DEET or more.
No, thanks. I’ll use the safe, toxin free approach by Young Living🌿
