EcoHearth.com Provides Advice on Natural Insect Repellents

Tonya Kay, natural health guru, environmentalist and EcoHearth.com blogger, offers her tips on repelling insects naturally.

2011-02-22

BROOKLYN, NY, February 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) If you take care of your body inside and out, "why would you spray pesticides directly on your skin?," asks health advocate Tonya Kay. "DEET [the most popular insect repellent on the market] is a neurotoxin that 'may cause' mental confusion, mood disturbances, seizures, loss of muscular control, paralysis and death by asphyxiation—which is why it's used as a pesticide."

Kay offers her solid advice for repelling insects the natural way—from thinking like a mosquito to mixing up her own green insect repellent—a blend of ingredients you can safely spray on your skin, but which insects don't want to be anywhere near.
