Lavender, mosquitoes, and sanity

So you forgot to put on the bug spray and now you've got two dozen mosquito bites all over (ok, so it was me who has the two dozen bites -- and, yes, I did count).  Lavender essential oil directly on the bite really does take the edge off that I'm-going-to-go-crazy-from-this-ITCHING feeling.  And you can just re-apply it as needed.  Lavender:  helps to keep you sane -- even in mosquito season.
