Tea tree oil is wonderful stuff. I've been using it for years. It is the only remedy I've actually seen penetrate a scabbed-over wound and rid it of infection literally overnight -- and I'm talking about a wound that is infected, with redness, swelling, pus, etc.

For topical purposes, the tea tree oil is meant to be dabbed on full strength. Here's much, much more about this natural remedy:

Ok, so now we know how to get rid of 'em once we got 'em, but here's a little tip to try and prevent them...if you don't use Off.

Take 1 dryer sheet, one of the ones with softener added, and wipe it ALL over any exposed skin.

Tada! No skeetie bites!

Don't ask where I learned this from, but it works. Skeeters don't like the smell or taste of fabric softener!

(Added bonus! You smell great too!)
