I'm a mosquito magnate when I go outside.  It's getting ridiculous.  I have to wear long sleeves and pants to work in the garden.  I have tried the essential oil repellents, but they don't work for me.  I have to use the nasty chemical bug sprays.  I had a tick latch onto my ear a few days ago, and it is just now healing up.  A big chunk of ear came out when my husband pulled it out for me.  I am going to try the honey solution for my next bite!

Neem oil is good; however, there are other ways to deal with insect and mosquito bites as well.

Tea tree essential oil works well for me after I've been bitten.  Also, Avon's Skin So Soft prevents being bitten if you remember to apply if before the little buggers get you.

Have a great day!

I dislike mosquitoes but they really like me.  They leave big red welts on me.  I seem to be more sensitive than many people to them.  If I am out and about in the evening and they start biting, I am one of the first people to go inside.  Can't stand them!  The only thing I hate equally are biting flies.  By the way, I have never heard of neem oil.  I'm going to do an internet search and find out more about it.
