Itching for Summer

A little public-service post here. About mosquitoes. I've been noticing more of them around lately than I remember in previous years (at least, I think that's what's been biting me whenever I'm outside in the evening), and that brings up an old dilemma ~ bug or drug? Most of the conventional repellents are chemical-laden, and many of their ingredients are not so good for us. But they work. Over the last few years, more "natural" repellents have hit the market, but not all of them work as well. Here's a list of essential oils whose scent mosquitoes apparently don't like and that work at least as well as the DEET-based formulas: http://www.care2.com/greenliving/top-5-natural-mosquito-repellents-that-really-work.html
