During a neighborhood block party, I was talking to one of my fellow neighbors. She apologized for smelling like citronella. I told her I hadn't noticed it and I just assumed someone was burning the citronella candles to keep the mosquitoes away. She told me it was probably her All Natural Mosquito Repellent I was smelling and how she only used this particular repellent due to it not containing DEET. I, immediately, wanted to know what it was so she went into her house and brought out the bottle.
Buzz Away Herbal Bug Spray Repellent, an All Natural Mosquito Repellent, was the bottle she handed me. It did smell like citronella candles, which didn't bother me. It was better then sniffing DEET. She told me she bought it at Whole Foods, but thought it probably could be bought at any natural food store. The next trip I took into Houston, which was a thirty minute plus commute, I bought several cans of Buzz Away Herbal Bug Spray Repellent.
The next time I went outdoors I saturated my skin with the Buzz Away Herbal Bug Spray Repellent and enjoyed the smell of citronella. But the best part was since the product was, "made of pure essential oils: Citronella, Cedarwood, Eucalyptus, Lemongrass, Peppermint, Water, Denatured ethyl alcohol, and modified castor oil (www.vitasprings.com)," my skin didn't feel like it was melting away. I didn't feel the need to take a shower after my outing outdoors, because the All Natural Mosquito Repellent was pleasant to wear.
Buzz Away Herbal Bug Spray was just as effective at keeping the mosquitoes from biting me as the bug repellents containing DEET. In a study done by Quantum Health, they found that more American dog ticks were on the cloth sprayed with OFF than the cloth sprayed with Buzz Away Herbal Bug Spray (www.consumerresearch.com). And a study conducted by Duke University on lab rats, they found that long term use of "DEET is a potent neurotoxin that can cause significant brain damage and loss of ability...(www.consumerresearch.com)."
Now, Buzz Away Herbal Bug Spray has Buzz Away Extreme, which lasts up to "eight hours against mosquitoes, up to 2.5 hours on ticks and also repels fleas, gnats and flies (www.vitasprings.com)." This product you can buy as a spray or pocket size or they come in the handy form of wipes. If you don't need the Extreme protection of Buzz Away Herbal Bug Spray, the regular formula lasts up to 2.5 hours at keeping the bugs distant.
I highly recommend Buzz Away Herbal Bug Spray if you are looking for an All Natural Mosquito Repellent. It has a nice citronella scent and it doesn't make your skin feel like its going to liquefy. You can wear it all day and not have any worries about what harm it is doing to your body. The most important factor is Buzz Away Herbal Bug Spray keeps the bugs away from you!
