I love spring, really, I do. Everything is sprouting and some plants are blooming .... yeah, yeah, I know, mostly the weeds, right? Hibernation is almost over, at least some of the lizards are out and about chasing down those insects and lil wee meece to eat. Butt there are those nasty lil kritters I just wish the creator hadn't created. They plague mammals and spread diseases, I actually hate those stupid things and now is the time when they'll begin to emerge. Well, while on FB, a friend passed along some interesting tips on how to repel them. Oh, in case someone else has already spread this I promise I didn't steal it, I honestly was on FB when I saw this.
When winter is coming to a close and we are getting ready for the warmer weather, many of us look forward to heading outdoors and enjoying some sunshine. There are many reasons to go outside and it certainly can be a wonderful time of year. Unfortunately,

I see warnings about ticks on signs if we go hiking. I know they must be around - but you know what - I don't think I've ever seen one! And for a while there I didn't even really know what they looked like! Or maybe they don't like the smell or taste of me so they stay away .

@rebelann I actually don't use essential oils, but we do use various oils in place of lotion. I looked on that list. So we don't use the oils, but we do use quite a bit of lemon. And I have fallen in love with lemon grass to cook with recently. I don't know if digesting these things are completely different from having the oils on you topically?

Interesting idea @much2say I've never eaten lemon grass so I don't know anything about that but I do know that people who eat a lot of garlic and onion typically won't get bitten or stung, I need to do that.

Do you use essential oils like the ones they talk about in the video?

I love spring also, all the flowers and such. I do share your dislike of all the little critters that bite, sting, and just generally make you miserable. I am on my way to visit the site you recommended.

I'll be going to the health store pretty soon to stock up on essential oils. Hope the site helps.
