How to repel mosquitoes

I just received this in a e-letter from one of the North Georgia Mountain Cabin Rental Companies (Blue Sky Cabin Rentals). Given it is that time of year again, I felt inclined to share this new knowledge.

• Use Bounce fabric softener sheets...just wipe on & go...Great for Babies
• Take one Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine Hydrochloride 100mg)  tablet a day April through October
• Rub on some Vick's Vapo-Rub
• Plant marigolds around the yard. The flowers give off a smell that bugs do not like. Plant some in the garden too to help ward off bugs without using insecticides
• Rub on some Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed about half and half with alcohol (this is supposedly a trick the Marines use)
• Douse yourself in Pure Vanilla - the clear, real stuff not the vanilla flavoring
• When all else fails - get a frog.

Hope you have an itch-free summer!
