My first post to the forum, I've been reading for a while but there are a couple of comments that I felt should be covered with a little bit of science and so I have registered as a forum member to have a say.
DEET as a carcinogen should be clarified and the use of Citronella is pretty much a waste of time.
And so here are the links to some real information and research.

Having been attacked and monstered by a number of different flying and crawling creatures over the years, I've long given up on folk remedies and the like and stick to using those remedies as advised by scientific research. To minimise the use of chemicals, I prefer to use microfibre clothing wherever I can, you can see why when you follow the links.
Oh, and before I forget. Hello everybody. : )
