There are DEET alternatives out there, has anyone tried them?


I know a really good way to keep mosqitos from biting you. I take 100 mg of
vitamin B-1 every day. Before I took this I would get eaten alive and since I love going fishing it was a terrible thing.. Since I started taking this vitamin I hardlyyyyy ever get bit and if i do it does not swell up like before.

A programme on last night in England did a test on four people, putting different remedies on each leg to see which one worked. The deet worked of course but also lemon juice. The garlic and others didn't make a difference at all.. :rolleyes:
