The typical bug repellents are full of chemicals. The most common chemical that is known for causing issues is DEET. It has been reported to cause skin irritation, headaches, shortness of breath, and neurological issues like seizures. So here are some ways to keep bugs off without all the chemicals.
Natural bug repellents
Lemon and eucalyptus oil
Lavender oil
Garlic and lemon juice combo
Crushed mint boiled in water
Tea tree oil
Avoiding salty foods
Cinnamon oil
DEET free bug spray
Thyme oil
Peppermint oil
If you do get bites this summer and want a natural way to help relieve the itching try putting ice, honey, aloe vera, or onions on the skin.
