Something to watch out for this summer...
Mosquitoes!!! I heard this weekend from a friend and again on the news --- Mosquitoes love pregnant women!!! Something about the extra carbon dioxide we give off. Greeaaatttt.......
So what is OK for us to wear to repel and what actually works?

Re: Something to watch out for this summer...
I'm allergic to mosquito's and even 1 bite turns into a huge welt and itches for weeks I've already had about 10 but just went out and bought one of those "Off clip on" things so hopefully it helps!

Re: Something to watch out for this summer...
Gonna sound crazy but it works. Put a bounce dryer sheet in your back pocket, or tie it around your bag and the mosquitos will stay away. You will smell meadow fresh too

Re: Something to watch out for this summer...
I have found the ultimate mosquito repellent and am happy to share. It is called Greenbug and it works! Not only that, it is absolutely safe - made with food grade safe ingredients, EPA exempt (which means it is proven to cause no harm whatsoever to humans, animals or the environment) and only affects pests you don't want. The reason it works is cedar - like cedar chests and closets where you don't see bugs & that is because cedar is deadly to pests yet harmless to us. Pregnant women, infants, newborn puppies, etc. can all use Greenbug safely. It works on mosquitoes, black flies, roaches, - even bed bugs!!! I found it while camping in SC and they sell it online http://www.greenbugallnatural.com

Re: Something to watch out for this summer...
Off & other pesticides are not safe AT ALL when you are pregnant! Pesticide exposure during pregnancy is known to lower IQ (makes sense as they are neuro-toxins) so avoid them completely!
I wrote this above but the best solution I have ever found BY FAR is Greenbug. I camp & spend a lot of time outdoors with my job. Greenbug works and it is green & safe!
