Today, I found out I'm allergic to mosquito repellent. I fly out on a two month trip to India on Saturday. FML

Isn't there a little clip on mosquito repellent that you don't have to spray on your body?

There has to be an alternative. I'm sorry, OP.

Use organic mosquito repellent that's non-toxic. Win-win. There's essential oil blends and bracelets also. Made to repel mosquitos.

Try making your own out of essential oils!

I use pennyroyal oil (in the mint family.) We have a lot of mosquitos around. Also sometimes I use a peppermint spray. You can include certain things in your diet, to make you less appealing to those blood suckers. Also planting a small pot(s) especially by windows, and resting area. Essential oils & plants that are repellant include: Mint family (Horsemint, catnip, etc) Marigolds Fennel Thyme Clove Ageratum Garlic And so on...

Lemongrass oil is a great natural bug repellant. :)

Citronella extract//oil. Apply a few drops on several areas of your exposed skin-No bug will come near you. Have fun!

Some pet stores sell organic insect repellent for animals. It's all made from oils. The brand is Mad about Organics. And yes, it's all human-grade ingredients. I actually had a chance to talk to the owner of the company.
