Re: Gardening and bug bites

Before I go out to garden I mix up some Avon "Skin So Soft" bath oil in a spray bottle with water and spray my arms, legs etc. Bugs of all kind hate the smell and stay away. I even spray my dogs and horse to keep fleas and flies away. Works great and no poison. Works for me maybe for you too.

I used to have some Skin So Soft and have always heard that it repelled mosquitos.  I'll have to get some because I sure do hate bug spray, but I would drown myself in it to prevent getting chiggers again!
