You can make your own repellent using any kitchen oil like olive mixed with around 5 to 10% of either lemon grass essential oil, citronella or both. It only takes a small amount of this applied here and there to deter mosquitoes and other pests. There are pre-made alternatives available at stores like Natural Grocer as well.

Shouldve also added some info about sunscreen and the toxins in that stuff 😉 i feel like ever since I became aware of this, the sunscreen propaganda has gotten worse. Maybe because I live in FL (basically Sarasota lol), but everywhere I go, someone is emphasizing the importance of using sunscreen. And cosmetics! (Maybe because I'm female...) everyone is constantly talking about using cosmetics that have sunscreen....

Its so over-bearing lately that it becomes an immediate red flag. Why is everyone so interested in having me bathe in sunscreen - even if I'm not going outside? 🤔

Well the answer is obvious. But so many people still don't know that sunscreen is one of the top causes of skin cancer- not sunshine.
