Well Bernie, I've had this old Frog for 43 years & I think I will keep him a 
little longer!

    Lyn, if you plan on swollowing the skeeters, then you better drink some. If 
you have a useless frog over there, bring him over and I'll eat him.  Bernie

      Mosquitoes 
      It's about that time folks - so thought I'd send out this reminder!!!!  
Bernie. 


       
         OK, mosquitoes... prepare to be repelled!!!!!  
        


      Use Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets ... Best thing ever used in Louisiana 
... just wipe on and go ... Great for Babies. 

      Bob, a fisherman, takes one vitamin B-1 tablet a day April through 
October . He said it works. He was right. Hasn't had a mosquito bite in 33 
years. Try it. Every one he has talked into trying it works on them. Vitamin 
B-1( Thiamine Hydrochloride 100 mg.) 

      If you eat bananas, the mosquitoes like you, - something about the banana 
oil as your body processes it.  Stop eating bananas for the summer and the 
mosquitoes will be much less interested. 

      This is going to floor you, but one of the best insect repellents someone 
found (who is in the woods every day), is Vick's Vaporub. 

      Plant marigolds around the yard, the flowers give off a smell that bugs 
do not like, so plant some in that garden also to help ward off bugs without 
using insecticides. 

      "Tough guy" Marines who spend a great deal of time "camping out" say that 
the very best mosquito repellent you can use is Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil 
mixed about half and half with alcohol. 

      One of the best natural insect repellents that I've discovered is made 
from the clear real vanilla. This is the pure Vanilla that is sold in Mexico.  
It works great for mosquitoes and ticks, don't know about other insects.  

      When all else fails--get a frog
