Nature's HerbalA note from DebHi Everyone, My name is Deb Jackson and I would like to thank you all for visiting and purchasing my product. I would also like to tell you a little bit about Nature’s Herbal Natural Mosquito and Insect Shield. I am not a big company and my spray is not made in a factory, it is made here in my home. I began making the shield for my family because I was sure we were having a reaction to DEET. The symptoms were headache, diarrhea, fatigue, coughing, slight skin rash, and upset stomach. This is called DEET toxicity. I was shocked to find out how poisonous the stuff really is! DEET is a neurotoxin. DEET toxicity reports exist in medical literature. Many cases of encephalopathy, in children younger than 8 years of age have been reported. Though it is said that many of these persons had a history of long-term, excessive, or inappropriate use of DEET repellent. Can there be an appropriate use of POISON in children? I found the Iowa State University study that proved Catnip oil was 10 times more effective than DEET at repelling mosquitoes. They said that nepetalactone was the active ingredient. Then I found that pennyroyal oil contained nepetalactone also. So I ordered both the oils, made a spray for us and IT WORKED! Not only that but when we stopped using DEET the terrible symptoms went away! My friends tried it and their friends, they all loved it and soon people were telling me I should sell it on my site. I did and the response has been exceptionally great. I’m a busy lady these days! THANK YOU! I have however had a few complaints that the spray doesn’t work as well as expected, but most people say it works wonderfully. I have a feeling the folks who complained aren’t using it properly and felt I should explain how to use the spray for best results. Nature’s Herbal shield is made with natural oils, water and glycerin. Oil and water do not mix so the bottle must be shaken vigorously before spraying and you should stop to shake it again while spraying. Spray well on your body and clothes, spray it in your hand to cover your face and neck. Don’t open the bottle and pour some in your hand to get it on faster because you will pour all the oil out as it is on top of the water and what remains in the bottle is to weak and will not work again. And remember the spray works for mosquitoes and some other insects but not all. The same is true with DEET. We have added rosemary oil to help with other insects. It is not poisonous, but DO NOT under any circumstances drink it or spray it in the mouth as an allergic reaction could occur. Essential oils are very strong and could cause severe stomach ache if a large amount is ingested. Nature’s Herbal shield works well on animals for flees and ticks, but your dog may not like having the cat following him! ;~) Thanks again, and please do send me your comments at info@mosquitosolutions.com. And please take a moment to stop and look at the banner for missing and exploited children. So often it is people like you and I who find them! Sincerely Yours, Deb Jackson
