I found a great Deet free bug spray that we can use as a family but I use primarily for ds. It is called "Stop Bugging Me!" and it is by JASON. It is expensive, but I feel much safer using it. I don't even feel comfortable using the very low concentration of deet - especially on ds!!

That being said, we DO have to use the family deet stuff once a year when we are at my In-laws who live in a very rural setting with lots of bugs. Ds got so bitten up there once - and he's prone to bad bug bites - that we had to take him to the pharmacist to recommend something. So I will use that very very very sparingly on him but then wash it off immediately.

You have to apply the JASON spray more frequently, but I feel safer using it and can even put in in ds's hair (it's very short) because he gets bitten on his head a lot.

We don't usually get a lot of mosquitos in our area, so the "Stop Bugging Me!" works great here. I have a friend that brings it to all of our get togethers, but I haven't gotten any, yet. I was just using the Avon Skin So Soft, and it works pretty good.

Frugal is being wise with your money and resources and cheap is forcing everyone else to.

Bumping this up. Looks like we're about at that time of year again.
