Saw these ladies on the news. Quite a story. It is actually vit B1 and the bugs don't like it and won't bite. Says it prevents tick attachments.

Would love to know if it works. Certainly a safer alternative to DEET, etc. Great for kids - if it works.

Any testimonials, please pass them on. My kids volunteer each day at a horse farm, and I make them spray their clothes down each day with Deep Woods Off. But worry about doing that. Would love a safer alternative.

Thanks.
