Does anyone have a recipe for bug repellent for humans??!

Choose a carrier oil, (almond, grapeseed, whatever,) or even water and mix in your choice of essential oils!.

My personal faves are: geranium oil, peppermint, and lemon eucalyptus!. (Note that that is NOT lemon oil and eucalyptus oil!. There is such a thing as lemon eucalyptus, which smells a little like citronella!.) I use Aura Cacia brand in all of these!. Feel free to mix it up too, (these are just the ones I've found to be specificly good for bugs!.) Lavender, ceadar wood, and citronella are all goods ones too!.

Mix them in whatever ratio you want, (depending on the size of the bottle I usually do about 10 drops of each for a 8oz bottle!.) Be sure to shake everything up really well before you spray, and have at it! Reapply every 1 - 3 hours depending on how much you sweat, bugs that are around, etc!.

Test on a small patch of skin just to be sure you aren't allergic, but I've used this for years and love it!Www@Answer-Health@Com
