That’s interesting! As I’m researching this (for my family) I have questions :)
- have you tried entomol? How does it compare?
- is it advisable with for young kids, if it’s irritant?
- how long does it stay on?
- what do you do when you get so many ticks on yourself? Watch if you get spots after 30 days?
replyEntomol is hydrogenated catmint oil
Never tried Entomol. But I've found any of the essential oils simply don't work more than 10-20mins after application. I'd be very skeptical, but I'll try it if I can find an EPA/FDA approved spray.
replyPicaridin is safe for everyone, but follow all label instructions. Also use the 20% concentration. I find that 10%-15% is about as effective as DEET, 20% is about twice as effective (in my completely uncontrolled, unscientific, testing).
