Is he allergic to citronella? Making soap with the oil or mixing the oil and water into a spray can help

The Paul Mitchell yea tree lotion works great at repelling bugs for a deet free alternative but idk how it’ll go with the allergies

Most insects really hate cinnamon, you could look into something with that maybe

Agreeing with this bc apparently my blood is super attractive to bugs, so not even the strongest DEET spray can keep them away. Go with loose, thick sweatpants and a crew neck, and compression socks

i’ve suggested a few things to him and we’ve decided whatever we try we’re gonna do a spot on his wrist before spraying or rubbing stuff on his entire body
