What is a good repellent, hopefully without DEET? I bought some "Buzzaway" but noticed I still got bitten by a mosquito yesterday. Also, I thought there were bracelets you could be (like flea collars) for kids, but can't find any. Any help would be appreciated!

This looks interesting. I get lots of skeeter bites.
It does not mention repelling ticks though..

Hi

Despite all the negative press DEET has NOT been proven to be as bad as everyone says. In fact the can you get in north america are heavily watered down version of what is typically used in the malaria areas on an daily basis... to no ill effect.
