Bug bites can be a serious issue during the Summer months, especially if you live anywhere near water. It can become more than a minor inconvenience when one small bite grows into a larger problem like Lyme Disease or West Nile. These tiny critters can pack a real punch to our bodies and I want you to be protected! The risk to using a a product that doesn’t work is much higher for bug repellent than deodorant or laundry detergent. The latter might not leave your clothes bleach white,  but the former could pose a serious risk to your life.  When I moved to Virginia, the natural living part of me wanted to make my own insect repellent.  But the environmental toxins attorney in me had to do a two-week deep dive on all of the research that is out there on bug sprays and insect repellent and DEET and all of it.  Let’s set you up for a safe and joyful Summer with this weeks episode on what insect repellents actually work, without all the toxins.  Check out the shownotes for more resources here!Receive weekly Toxin Free Tips & Sips right to your inbox by joining my email list here and follow me on instagram @wendykathryn_ .Want to ask me a question to get answered on the podcast?
