I've got one I bought somewhere with Lemon Eucalyptus. Then I added some other essential oils to it after it was half used. It's definitely not a fragrance I would normally wear! It helps some, but those pesky skeeters still get me some...I'm just totally irresistible to every single female of that species and they find some way of biting me anyway if I stay out long enough. You'd think that as dry as it is here (very dry), there wouldn't be so many skeeters. I've heard that in recent years they've discovered new compounds that work much better than even DEET. But of course, they still have to do all kinds of tests to find out if any are safe for humans, so I'll just have to wait.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
