Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hey Nick. Garlic is always a good try but some say it does not work, I think more it is the dose, timing and form. Might distance people too I read just recently (because I have been going on hikes) that hot peppers work. I was thinking of the homeopathic creams with capsasin (cayenne) in them might be worth a try. I used jojoba oil with eucalyptus and pepermint oil and while others were being malled I did rather well, I am going to add cayenne to that mix and let sit, Im thinking this will work good.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I don't think this is 'raw', but it is natural as far as I have read: Bug Barrier and Bug Block from Dr. Schultze (www.herbdoc.com) You can find it under the " External " link on the left hand navigation. He mentioned he developed these when he was down in Florida for a period of time ..... similar bugs to where you're at. If you call them to find out more about the product ... or if you try it ... perhaps you could report back to the list. Bug Barrier Botanical Ingredients: Eucalyptus Leaf oil, Cedarwood oil, Rosemary Leaf oil, Citronella oil, Lemon Grass oil, Lemon oil, Tea Tree oil, Peppermint Leaf oil, Catnip Leaf oil, Cinnamon Bark oil, Garlic Bulb oil, Plantain Leaf oil, Echinacea Root and Seed oil, Botanical Menthol, Neem Tree oil and unbleached Beeswax. Bug Block Botanical Ingredients: Eucalyptus leaf oil, Cedar Wood oil, Rosemary Leaf oil, Citronella oil, Lemon Grass oil, Lemon oil, Tea Tree oil, Peppermint Leaf oil, Catnip Leaf oil, Cinnamon Bark oil, Garlic Bulb oil and Neem Tree oil.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi Nick, My family use just plain citronella oil here in Mozzie Land (Australia) You certainly wouldn't EAT it though so it's not a raw food.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Wonderful raw shea butter is good for everything under the sun. Terri http://www.rawelements.ca/index.php?main_page=product_info & cPath=21 & products_id=\ 304 " Shea Butter is actually an effective insect repellant. A study published in a French Medical Journal titled Bulletin de la Societe de Pathologie Exotique, Shea Butter was found to be an effective, affordable, and practical means to prevent insect bites. And if you happen to get an insect bite because you forgot to put on your Shea Butter before going out, remember that Shea Butter has powerful ant-inflammatory properties to stop itching and to reduce redness & swelling.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Being from an island where mosquitos come up from africa carrying Dengue fever, we are extrememly vigilant and hyperaware of various methods of mosquito blocking. From taking regular doses of Vita B, to wearing a bug-emulating-dragonfly-machine, we've done it all. I've heard many things, but in truth the only thing that we've had reliably work to keep mosquitos off of us is Neem. It works for a short time. Citronella hasn't been effective in keeping it off of us, but burning it in a candle form does! We've also burned cinnamon stick incense around us and that helps as well. I hope that helps someone out there. , " Nick Hein " <nick.hein wrote: > > Good evening, > Has anyone found a raw food that will repel mosquitos? > > Nick Hein > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I came to understand over many years, that the presence of mosquitoes can be perceived as an excellent warning sign of " something " (or several things combined) not being right in the environment we are experiencing those bites in ... (stale water - a very important condition for their reproduction - , alkaline - acidic balance in the body , etc ) Raw food diet is essential for a healthy, clean, balanced alkaline body, that the mosquitoes would not bother, but never underestimate the importance of your stress level, of your spiritual vibration, that might keep you on the acid - side , attracting those acidic-blood-suckers ... Here is a list of a few very popular plants, that have been observed as mosquito-repellent, and are good to be surrounded with , and as you all well know, are advised to be included in every raw-head diet: bay, lavender, mint, garlic, basil, oregano, lemon grass. There are also great garden plants-bushes-trees to have nearby (whose english names i do not know, but based on their latin names, one can easily identify): Vitex agnus-cactus, Ginkgo biloba, Catalpa bignonioides, Pelargonium odoratissimum, Plectranthus, Eucalyptus sp.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hey Attila, Good to hear from you! Regarding mosquito repellent, if I remember correctly, one type of Sassafras tree on a property repels mosquitos (unless it was a different type of tree).
