Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 It's B-1 that keeps the skeeters away.... I can't remember now if its mcg or mg... but it's 200 about a half hour before the mosquitos hit.... then 100 every couple of hours while you're out in them... It works SO well for me that I was not allowed to take the stuff when I worked for Mosquito Control! Part of our job was doing bite counts... I wasn't getting bit so my counts were off.... hehehehehehee The first time I tested it out was at a family reunion up at the lake.... Everyone was crammed into a screen tent, the skeeters were so bad.... I was popping my b-1 and laying in the grass next to the fire having a grand ole time! I wasn't getting a single bite and everyone in the tent was still getting bit! I'll warn you ... you pee a very bright yellow when you're on it! I also had a lot of success washing my clothes with bleach.... do the regular wash and the last few seconds before it drained and spun out I'd add a splash of bleach... then let it continue through the rinse, etc... that mild chlorine scent kept away ticks and gnats.... I used to live for camping and was so into it that the tent was kept in my trunk and I had the canoe on top of the car (or later, the truck) so that I could go anytime I wanted. I often stopped off after work to go canoeing.... back in the days when I could still do stuff like that.... sigh.... I'm aiming to do some of those again one day, now that I'm on Natural thyroid and have learned how to take care of my own health!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I wasn't sure which one it was...that's good to know. You're right about your urine being bright yellow!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I'm still mostly peeing clear.. except the other day when I had my liver... so I'm still a bit short on vitamins... I'm just sticking to taking them regularly and hopefully, eventually my body will catch up again to the point where there is excess to pass on..... I'm taking roughly double what I was taking this time last year... so my body is adjusting just fine... I'm very pleased!
