bug repellant recipe

If you or someone you know is unable (like me) or unwilling to use regular, chemical bug repellants like "Off" here's a little recipe for one that uses essential oils. I received it in a newsletter that I get from the local holistic mom's group:

Stir a 1/2 teaspoon (total) of the following essential oils - in equal parts
or in any combination - into 1 cup of 190 proof grain alcohol. Pour the
solution into small bottles with tight-fitting caps or sprayers. (be mindful of eyes when spraying)

citronella, juniper, rose geranium, myrrh, pine, cedarwood, lemon,
palmarosa, rosemary and basil.

Hope everyone has a lovely day!
