Once again, my two year old son has some thoughts of his own that he'd like to share!
"Last time, I talked about Sunshine, Vitamin D and Sunscreen. I’ve learned a similar lesson about Bug Spray as I learned with sunscreen. Basically, I’ve learned that your skin feeds right into the rest of your body—whatever you put ON it goes directly IN you. I've even heard some grown-ups say, "If you wouldn't eat it, you shouldn't put it on your skin!" Mom says that's a good start, but it still doesn't give her much confidence... that's because she just about flips her lid when she thinks about what people WILL voluntarily eat! Anyway, I get the point though. We should be much more conscious of what we're "feeding" our skin, because it really does end up feeding all the cells inside us.
Mom refuses to spray us (or our living area, yard, etc.) with chemicals, especially since SO many of them are proven carcinogens (it means they can cause cancer). We use citronella, even on our bodies. Mom sprays us with “Buzz Away” by Quantum, and bugs leave us alone! We also mix about 45 drops of Agrisept with water in a spray bottle (it's a super concentrated citrus extract that demolishes bacteria, viruses, fungi, candidia, mold, etc... mom and dad have carried it at the office for years. If you'd like more info, contact them through http://www.LifetimeWellness.net) he same thing mom and dad have sold at the office for years). It’s cheap and it works like a charm. Oh, and NO toxic chemicals. Mom says there are many other safe and pure products available to keep the bugs away, too. You just need to do a little searching.
There's even ultra potent, pure garlic spray you can use to spray your entire yard and garden to keep mosqitoes away... mom likes it because she says it makes her feel like she's in a fabulous Italian restaurant! There are also lots of nifty electical and solar bug-zapping gadgets available now that are so much better than putting DEET are other junk on your body.
Those poor bugs don't have a chance!
