Parents beware of Deet!

 
Posted by Anita QuincyUser2141_level Tuesday, August 11 2009 2 comments

Summer is here and so are the mosquitos.  I know going out into the woods with the kids we all pull out the OFF and in recent years we look for DEET in our products to ward off even the peskiest little buggers.  A new study has found that when combined with other chemicals, insect repellant can become a neurotoxin. 

Do you know of a natural product that will repel mosquitos and is safe to apply on my kids skin?

    Great minds think alike. Maybe this article about the dangers of DEET (that I posted this weekend on Greenwala) will help to fill in some of the gaps. I also included a few natural options to ward off pests. http://www.greenwala.com/profiles/2449-Linda-Lucille/blog/1537-The-Safety-Of-DEET-Insect-Repellents-In-Question
