Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Mosquitos absolutely love me. Given one mosquito and a room full of people, the mosquito will bite me and leave the rest alone. Up until now, the only solution seemed to be 100% Deet, which I absolutely hate to use due to smell and its toxic effects. So, when this product became available I decided to give it a try. Here is what I liked: 1. First and foremost, there is absolutely no DEET in it at all!! Nor are there any other type of insecticides. 2. The smell of this product is pleasant, but can be rather strong when first applied. 3. Most important, the product works reasonably well. If you put it on all exposed and possible surfaces (think thin shirts) then I did not get any bites. Not thinking about the thin shirt issue I did get a couple of bites the first time I used it on my back through my shirt. The next time I sprayed it lightly on my shirt and had no issues with bites. 4. The product does not appear to stain. I have used it on my cloths several times and have not had any stains resulting from such use. 5, The longest I have been out with it on is 5 hours on a hike. I did not get any bites during that entire time. Things that I did not like as much: 1. The odor can be a bit much when it is first applied. However, in about 10 minutes you no longer notice it. I would recommend this product as an alternative to using DEET.
