LOVE BUG SPRAY

BUG SPRAY

The air is getting a bit chillier with fall season in the horizon. The bugs come swarming to buzzkill the evening around the bonfire. The little blood suckers are drawn to our natural inherent scents. Some mosquitos seem to be the size of birds,  and others are no-see-ums. Of course, they all seem to swarm and bite at once!  

DEETS ON DEET

What is the Deets with DEET? Bug bites are the worst because the itch last long and kids will itch them till the bites bleed and scab. DEET is present is so many commercial bug repellents, and widely discussed in the media about safety. Dr. Abou Donia, a Duke University pharmacologist, found that “rats treated with an average human dose of DEET (40 mg/kg body weight) performed far worse than control rats when challenged with physical tasks requiring muscle control, strength and coordination.”In the same study, Dr. Abou Donia found that DEET caused “neurons to die in regions of the brain that control muscle movement, learning, memory and concentration.” (source) The pharmacologist says that children are at a higher risk for brain changes after DEET exposure because their skin absorbs it more readily. There are plenty of natural alternatives. A study found that Geranium oil works comparable to DEET in avoiding bites!
