    Default vbottom's fault - best thing since sliced bread


    So I was mostly using the tea tree oil as an after bite. Tea Tree oil isn't exactly inexpensive. Tea Tree oil stops insect bite itch, and bee/hornet bite swelling. If you've seen my posts on the topic, you know I know! I've been using it for years. So vbottom goes to Florida and is eaten alive by sand flies. I send him some t-tree oil and he loves it, he said they never bugged him after applying the tea tree oil. hmmm, the applicator I sent him was only 8mm wide (just over 1/4 inch). We need a wider applicator to apply it so as to "stop the bite". So now I have a "more better", wider applicator. Its approximately an inch and a quarter wide. And does it work. No more using insecticide and spraying the stuff in your eyes and mouth. And who know what in that stuff anyway. My stuff is Tea Tree Oil. All natural, and it even smells good, at least I like the smell! Aroma therapy! lol

    Anyway, here it is.

    It really is a miracle oil, read this: Tea Tree: The Ancient Australian Miracle Oil

    And I love the big magic marker applicator. You don't have to give your self a "spray on" soaking with the oil. You brush it on lightly so you can just tell it's applied. Does not take much. I was working on my boat in the boat house, and although it's been cool, and the skeeters been few and far between, they're starting to come out. There were 4 or five of them buzzing me, I applied the tea tree oil, and gone. You could see them buzzing around a bit, but then they just packed up and left never to be seen again, wow. Then later I got buzzed by a Yellow Fly. I hate Yellow Flies. They locate you and will stay on you till they get an opening. They are persistent as all heck. But this one, buzzed in, and too, just disappeared. Wow, this stuff works, not only to stop the itch if you do get bit, but it prevents the bite all together. Read about it, there are a ton of uses. My stuff does have a carrier oil (grape seed oil), but it's a lot more Tea Tree Oil, than carrier oil. The carrier oil actually does provide a benefit, tea tree oil is very volatile, it evaporates fast. The carrier oil helps carry the smell longer, and therefore keeps the bugs away longer.
