ANECDOTE

Effective DEET-Free Bug Spray

  • Sarah used a vegan, DEET-free bug spray called Kinfield in Hawaii and only got one mosquito bite despite others being heavily bitten.
  • The strong citronella smell was effective and she avoided chemical insect repellents due to allergies.
ADVICE

Check Ingredients Order Closely

  • Ingredients on product labels are listed from highest to lowest concentration, with the first ingredients having the strongest effect.
  • Avoid products with problematic ingredients like denatured alcohol as the first ingredient to prevent skin irritation.
INSIGHT

Don't Fear Complex Ingredients

  • Complex ingredient names can seem scary, but many are just botanical or chemical terms that are not harmful.
  • Use tools and research to understand ingredients instead of assuming the worst because of difficult names.
