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. Everyone he has talked into trying it says it works
on them. Vitamin B-1( Thiamine Hydrochloride 100 mg.)

Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed about half and half with alcohol.

                                                     



One of the best natural insect repellents 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.
