Re: Re: Natural bug repellant?

Vitamin B used to have a strong odor, but it seems that they took it away because now it doesn't smell much.
Does anyone know where is possible to buy the old style vitamin B?

My *repellent* is taking a B-complex vitamin every day. When I take
that, using another spray/lotion doesn't ever seem to be necessary.

If that doesn't help or you need something for now, before the B
vitamins kick into your system, I think there are some natural
repellents. I'm fairly sure I purchased one, but I don't have any on
hand now to tell you brand. Try a search for it, and I bet you come up
with a lot of products. Or visit your local health food store - they
should have something.

You also can make up a spray for yourself (don't use it near cats) out
of essential oils. Here's one that I've heard of:

10 drops of each of the following in a 10-16 oz bottle of spring or
distilled water with one tablespoon of vodka added as a preservative:

lavender
peppermint
sweet orange
rose geranium

Interesting, Rena! Do you think the strong odor ones worked better?
That didn't even occur to me, but I just went and checked two
different ones I have on hand. The one I'm taking - Nature's Life
B-100 - doesn't seem to have a real strong odor. I just opened up a
capsule, and I can smell a scent to it, but it's not overpowering.

The other I have that I use in the raw meat mix I make for my cats is
Country Life Action B-50. That one smells stronger to me.
