Homeopathic Mosquito Repellent

It's starting to get warm in this sauna of a state. With all the resent rain we have had the mosquitoes are starting get thick! I look down while in the garden and my legs are covered in those blood suckers! Naturally, I start beating the heck out of my legs. So we got to thinking, how about some repellent. Wait a minute! That stuff stinks and it has ingredients we can't even pronounce. Why not make our own? We didn't hesitate... We headed to Drug  Emporium to get Eucalyptus and Lemon oils. We mixed the oils with rubbing alcohol into a spray bottle at a ratio of 10:1 alcohol to oil. It smells great and we aren't putting something on our body that is known to the "state of california" to cause cancer! The oils are great on the skin but the alcohol can dry your skin so we will try witch hazel next batch.
