    Thumbs up Mosquitos...............

    OK, mosquitos...prepare to be repelled!!!!!

    Use Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets...Best thing ever used in
    Louisiana..just wipe on & go...Great for Babies

    Bob, a fisherman, takes one vitamin B-1 tablet a day
    April through October . He said it works. He was right.
    Hasn't had a mosquito bite in 33 years. Try it.
    Every one he has talked into trying it works on them.
    Vitimin B-1( Thiamine Hydrochloride 100 mg.)

    If you eat bananas,
    the mosquitos like you, - something about the banana oil
    as your body processes it.
    Stop eating bananas for the summer and the mosquitos
    will be much less interested.

    This is going to floor you, but one of the best
    insect repellents someone found (who is in the woods
    every day), is Vick's Vaporub.

    Plant marigolds around the yard, the flowers give off
    a smell that bugs do not like,
    so plant some in that garden also to help ward
    off bugs without using insecticides.

    "Tough guy" Marines who spend a great deal of time
    "camping out" say that the very best mosquito
    repellant you can use is
    Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed about
    half and half with alcohol.

    One of the best natural insect repellants that I've discovered
    is made from the clear real vanilla. This is the pure
    vanilla that is sold in Mexico. It works great for mosquitoes and ticks,
    don't know about other insects.

    when all else fails--get a frog





    Fight West Nile...pass this along to all your friends in skeeter land!!!

    Wow!! There's some tricks I haven't heard before!! I know about the Vitamin B and Avon, but the others, I'll just have to try!! I am allergic to Mosquito bites...serious!! They swell up and get little blisters on top. It's not a pretty site!

    I grew up near an army base and a friend's mom sold Avon. She made most of her money from the Army guys buying SSS before going out to the fields for maneuvers.

    I like the Bounce idea!!I can smell fresh and clean!! Vitamin B complex is okay, but it works really good for flea bites.

    I have the same reaction to mosquito bites as annie169 AND I'm allergic to SSS, but I will definitely try the Bounce. Can't hurt!
