The Don’t Bite Me! ™ Mosquito Patch
I recently had the opportunity to try out a new mosquito repellent called the Don’t Bite Me(tm) mosquito patch. I decided to give it a try, since I’m always on the look out for a good mosquito repellent without DEET.
The patch seemed to be effective in repelling mosquitos, but right around the time I received the patches our mosquito population dried up with our rainfall totals. We’ve had a very dry July and August, with almost no rainfall. Which also means almost no mosquitos.
My son attracts mosquitos for miles, even when I have none bothering me, he can get bit. I’m always looking for natural remedies to keep the mosquitos off him. The patch worked.
The best part is the Don’t Bite Me! patch is DEET free. The effective ingredient is vitamin B1. The excessive B1 is secreted from you skin to create an odor that’s almost undetectable to people, but repels insects. The other active ingredient is aloe, which helps increase the skins absorption rate of B1.
I think these patches would be great for a day in the woods, or a weekend camping trip. The patches will repel bugs for up to 36 hours. They’re not messy, and they’re easy to apply, just stick them on your skin.
The patches are available at many natural food stores, and national retailers including Krogers, Wal-Mart, and Rite Aid. They’re also available online at dontbitemepatch.com.
