Might work.
DW has been putting ACV on her feet (?) in the morning - fortunately, in the bathroom. The paper towel goes in the waste basket. The room reeks!
Probably one of the reasons why I'm not much of a forager. I'm very suspicious of bushes during the summer. And, bugs love me! I may have to have a blood test today during a routine MD visit. I have TWO mosquito bites on my left arm, inside elbow. I've been treating them with anti-itch cream for 4 days! What was that southern Florida mosquito problem? I've ruled out Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever ..!

We've tried quite a bit to try and repel ticks and they keep getting worse each year. We have tried apple cider vinegar, rubbing alcohol, a repellent made by a company called REPEL, and a few yard products. They are absolutely HORRIBLE still! Anyone have luck with essential oils, and if so which ones do you use?

According to that recipe, you have to re-apply every 4 hours. I would imagine that if you are outside sweating, you might as well just dump the stuff over your head.

This has been a really bad year for ticks in NY.
