Just thought I’d re-post this on the DEET controversy.  The mosquitoes are really bad this spring due to all the rains, so I’m sure that cases of West Nile will be popping up.  I still don’t think it’s worth the risk of putting DEET on my skin.  Be sure to follow the last link to a natural recipe for mosquito repellant.  Happy Camping! 🙂

(A side note~ – a phenomenon we noticed on the mercury support group is that we weren’t bitten by mosquitoes.  Apparently, we were so toxic not even they wanted our blood….haha….anyway, now that I’m getting better, I’m starting to get bitten like I was prior to poisoning….heh…)
