>>Does anyone else do this?
Yes, I do. I use a good concentration of
Lugols in coconut oil on my body and Wombat's potion on my face with a variety of purposes in mind. Early on I'd hoped the
Iodine would keep them away, but I did not sense that mosquitos, etc. were less interested in me. I continue to apply the concoctions topically, and I will drop some
Lugols solution directly on a bite when/where one occurs. It's quite interesting, perhaps suggesting possibilities I've seen no documentation yet to support any related theory however. The L's appears to annihilate any swelling, itching, etc. But does it do more? I wonder also.
I'd bet ten cents that T has some type of hypothesis, thoughts up his cape, or sumthin.
Neem works quite well at keeping them off altogether. A pet spray is made for this purpose, can be used on animals of the human variety also. It is also considered to have antiparasitic properties.
