FROM Mr. E Mail

It's about that time folks-- so thought I'd send out this reminder!!!! OK, mosquitos... prepare to be repelled!!!!!

Use Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets... Best thing ever used in Louisiana... Just wipe on & go...Great for Babies

Bob, a fisherman, takes one vitamin B-1 tablet a day -- April through October. He said it works - hasn't had a mosquito bite in 33 years. Every one he has talked into trying it says works! Vitamin B-1 (Thiamin Hydrochloride 100 mg.)

If you eat bananas, the mosquitos like you, something about the banana oil as your body processes it. Stop eating bananas for the summer and the mosquitos will be much less interested.

This is going to floor you, but one of the best insect repellents someone found (who is in the woods every day), is Vick's Vaporub.

Plant marigolds around the yard, the flowers give off a smell that bugs do not like, so plant some in that garden also to help ward off bugs without using insecticides.

"Tough guy" Marines who spend a great deal of time "camping out" say that the very best mosquito repellent you can use is Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed about half and half with alcohol.

Another of the reported natural insect repellents discovered is real vanilla. It works for mosquitoes and ticks --- and you'll smell delicious besides.

If all else fails--get a frog...
