Lavendar and tea tree oil are good bug repellants

they also are anti-bacterial and fungal to fight dinfectin. Besides using it on me I use it on my dog as she has had a skin condition caused by mites she iherited and also her skin is affected as I used Revolutin to kill mites and it was too strong and it dried and irritated her skin even more. I do have to watch the lavendar oil on her as it is strong also and can burn a bit. The toxins are slowly come ot of her tho. I aso have bathed her in aveeno with a colloidal otmeal base. This helps with the itch as does coconut oil. i am trying my best tho as is all I can do. I am treating my poison ivy also as I get it each year, I have a tar based soap I am using along with tcnu to get oils out of me. Drinking liquids spreads the oils in yor body. So is good to apply the tecnu to the skin first and then wash it off.
