"An alternative product to deet and permethrin, would you be lemon eucalyptus, excuse me. Lemon eucalyptus is a pretty popular organic thing that people put on, to protect themselves against mosquito bites. It does work; however, you do have to apply it very frequently, because it wears off very fast. So, it depends on where you're going to be going, what the insect population is going to be, where you're going, how thick the concentration of insects are, that sort of thing before you want to consider using an alternative product, like lemon eucalyptus. Like I said earlier, it does work, but you do have to apply it once every 45, 30 to 45 minutes, because it will wear off. You just don't want that to happen, because if you put it on and it wears off, then you're going to get bit. So, it does work, just keep in mind, you do have to apply it very frequently."
