Guest guest Posted January 21, 2000 Report Share Posted January 21, 2000 Hi All, Just picked this up from another list & thought you folks may be interested in this preventative measure. <<I came across an interesting blurb in Scientifc America. They did a study in India where they floated peppermint oil on a larvae infested lake. A day later nearly all the larvae were dead! The volunteers spent several nights outside covered in peppermint oil and the amount of mosquitos that landed was reduced by 85%! It was particularly effective against the breed of mosquito that carries malaria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
