    Glennie - thanks for this - just looked it up and SuperBand Premium is for sale on Amazon too - $9.00 Prime for 10 of them. I think I'm going to try it! Thank you! The only place I got bit last summer was on my affected arm - bugs just know!

    Let me know how it works for you, Denise. I bought a single one at Home Depot,, and I think it was $1.29. Figured at that price it was worth a try! If they just don't bite my left arm, I'll be happy! The smell is a little strong,,, so hope you like lemongrass/citronella scent.

    Crystal, very cool that you are still doing what you used to do! I love glass. I miss it and I don't.

    Everyone else, I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but, (meaning I am a Debbie Downer) doesn't the bracelet touch your skin with insecticide? The thing I use with the fan doesn't touch my skin but I'm pretty sure I'm breathing some of it and that can't be good. There has to be a natural insect repellant besides Avon Skin so Soft ( makes me itch and dirt sticks to my skin).

    Yes, the bracelet touches your skin, but it has insect repelling essential oils in it. Not insecticides.

    Lemongrass oil, citronella oil and geraniol oil.

    Barbie1958- I live in Chatham and go to a Kathy Hoekstra she is a RDMT, LDT I go to her for manual lymphatic drainage she charges I believe 60$ an hour and she is registered so my insurance covers it. Her number is 352-0305 if your interested. She lives at 8 Shawnee Trail. She works out of her home. Not sure how familiar you are with Chatham. She lives just off of Indian Creek Line. If your coming from Ridgetwon it would problem take you 15/20 minutes.
