    good idea about the wormwood....i've also heard making a yarrow tincture & diluting with H2O is effective also

    you know what i mean about that poisen ivy thing? that is so amazing to me!! it's olllllld appalachia remedy to be immune to poisen ivy....drink the very oil of it before spring in gradual increasing doses till you can drink a lot (this process has no side effects if done properly)
    for eveery ailment....theres a cure in nature yes!...but more there is a natural vacinne as well, i believe, derived from what is considered "problms". case in point !
    I wonder i know theres gotta be something out there, probibly common, probibly like a Weed, that is not in the mainstream diet of people now that when eaten often, naturally also repels skeeters as well as diseases!! my money's on dandelion.
    unfortunatlty, most of these promising herbs(weeds) such as these are poorly researched by mainstream "science"
    (which's why i got mah money on it!!)

    *puts war paint on* any excuse to paint james!
    oooooh for those in the woods......
    Trees of heaven planted in heavy laiden mosquito habitat magically drains the soil in a pretty big area per plant, thus eliminating the problem at the root, and least a line of defence causing the little buggers to retreat ;)

    yeah....GARLIC!
    a 'weed' down here near the old home sites. we eat sooo much garlic (even garlic grits for breakfast!) when in the woods & it really helps. once it is really in you, those little buggers don't even want to taste you!
