I have yet to find conclusive info regarding using EO's vs. FO's for bug repellants. I am researching recipes for a bug lotion, lotion bars and sprays. Any great recipes that can be offered that dont have that offending scent would be wonderful and appreciated!! Also, because many of these, after full testing, I will be sending to my SIL's unit who are deployed, I dont think the guys would appreciate the lavendar scents. Any other ideas so our guys dont stink yet dont get bitten?? TIA God Bless, Lynn
