Are Mosquito's Bugging YOU!
 

We are lucky here at camp because camp does not have many mosquito's at all!  Even back in the 1920's the local area was known for it's low number of biting insects.  But for all of you out there in the rest of Michigan here is some help!

Natural solutions are:
  • To make a repellent out of essential oils that mosquito's do not like
  • Eat the seed pod or leafs from plantain (a plant found in most yards) which has vitamin B1 which changes your body chemistry so they don't like you (Native Americans have used it for hundreds of years)
  • Rub a Daisy on your skin as a natural Insect Repellent
  • Increase your diet of garlic and onions
  • Wear lighter colors
  • Wear long sleves and a hat with a net
