Midge repellent

[1 shot willie]

Took Eddie for a walk in the woods yesterday and noticed the Midges are out and about.
Having a repellent is a must for me personally.......... as I have a bad reaction to the little buggers bites.
Been a fan of Avon "Skin So Soft"for many years but bought and tried some "Stupidly Simple Midge Repel" and found it was better.
Have recently bought another tin in readiness.
It was while having a sniff of the opened tin.....I realised that it is practically the same scent as an oil I use for my back....."Ease Oil"
Brilliant stuff and for the hikers and trail runners amount us....great to apply before and after an outing.

A little bit goes a long way......going to try it out this season......thought it may help and be of use to others.

One of the ingredients called white camphor can be mixed with what is called a base oil (used to bulk out massage oils) White camphor helps muscle aches, rheumatism, chaffing, itchy skin etc.
It must only be used externally on unbroken skin and is often used in sports massage.

Should anyone ever find something that repels horse flies I'd be interested in hearing about it.

looks great. you'd need some pretty understanding travelling companions though. how long until a "kick me" sign gets pasted to the back of that?

Only stuff that really works for me is Smidge, really good stuff that doesn't smell too evil and keeps the buggers at bay.
