Hi, my name is Skeeter Bait, and I need help. Sure it's nice for other folks that they just need to stand near me and never get bit, but I look nasty from dog walks and bike rides. I am super allergic to the bites, they swell huge and get red all around, and my fair "dry no matter what" skin only takes one light scratch and they bleed. Yuck!

I've tried the whole garlic and brewers yeast tablets thing which works to a degree but makes me stink to high hell. I love bananas, but hear mixed things as to whether they make it worse or better. I did finally learn it's inevitable that I will be tasty to bugs because of something about cholesterol under the skin (not that it means you have bad cholesterol, just what your body does with it).

Anyway, I need bug spray that works, isn't sticky and gross, and worse doesn't mean I reek so badly that if a nice day of fishing ends up at home for uh, stuff, I don't have to run to the shower.

I work for Hain-Celestial, owner of the Jason brand and our bug spray smells disgusting. I'd really like to go with something relatively natural though unlike most of the screw balls I talk to on a daily basis I'm less worried about a chemical in sunscreen that *may* cause problems than the sun which *will* cause cancer.

Any ideas would be great because I am tired of dobbing myself with a "skeeter stick" all day.
