My son was recently diagnosed with Lyme Disease which poses a problem for me - how do I tell my ten and six year old boys they may not play in the woods behind our house? It seems unnatural, but then so does the 30 day dose of potent antibiotics they have my son taking. So I set out to see if there is some all-natural tick repellent that might help. I found this one by Kiss My Face at herbalremedies.com - It's a spray filled with an abundant supply of botanicals such as isopropyl Palmitate (from Coconut Oil), Cyclomethicone (Silica Derived), Essential Oil Blend, Citronella, Bay, Cedarwood, Vetivert, Patchouli, Juniper, Tea Tree, Lemon Peel, Tansy, Goldenseal, Dimethicone (Silica Derived), Propylparaben. Too bad it contains parabens, but if it works, I'd be willing to try it. It claims it is safe for kids and DEET free and created without animal ingredients, artificial colors, unnecessary chemicals, or animal testing.
this is great --
it's on my shopping list......
