Why Use Organic Bug Spray?

Chemicals such as DEET are absorbed into the skin, which is one of the most common chemicals within mosquito repellents, may cause negative effects. The effects of DEET, although rare, may include, skin irritation, rashes, burning lips, headaches, dizziness, and others. There are studies that show proof that DEET can cause brain cells to die and behavioral changes if used over a long period of time by rats. This causes major concerns for people who live in the south where there are many warm months and mosquitos to deal with on a daily basis.
