Greetings! 

 

WOW! What a fabulous 4th of July holiday vacation. Mother nature cooperated with lovely weather for our James Taylor concert at Tanglewood, as well as sunshine and lovely breezes for our adventure to Martha's Vineyard. One evening while on "The Vineyard", we ordered take-out lobster from Menemsha fish market and sat on the beach with our friends, watching the boats, children fishing off the shore, and the sunset; all while feasting on lobsters and wine! Life doesn't get any better than that...

 

I love to watch fireworks and the fireworks on the lake back home are always spectacular, well, except for the mosquitoes; those I could do without. The good news is that friends shared a new natural bug spray that is mostly cedar oil. AND - it worked great to keep these pesky bugs away. Here's a link to some if you'd like to try it. Or you can make your own with this recipe from Mother Earth News:

 

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons total of any combination of the following essential oils (available at health food stores): cedarwood, citronella, juniper, lemon, myrrh, or geranium   
  • 1 cup 190-proof grain alcohol (available in liquor stores)  
  • Place ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously. Transfer to small bottles for storage. To use, rub a small amount on any exposed skin (test first to be sure your skin will not be adversely affected by the repellent) or dab it on clothing.    

Citronella candles look pretty when lit and can help a little. I have not found that they keep all of the mosquitoes away - we grow a rather hardy version here in The Berkshires, but they do help a little! I recommend using everything that you can to keep those nasty little bugs away so bring on the Tiki torches filled with Citronella, the cedar oil bug spray and light my campfire!

 

Here is a photo of the daisies in my front yard. They remind me of my mom, Daisy, whose birthday is this week. She passed on in 2007, but every time the daisies bloom I think of her summer birthday and the many lovely parties filled with beautiful blooms!

 

  

Enjoy this lovely summer weather with as few mosquitoes as possible, the book recommendations, and share today's humor with your friends and family!   

 

Best of Health,

Once You Are Bitten...

There are many "after bite" creams and sprays on the market. Some contain Hydrocortisone (a steroid), others calamine. Hydrocortisone, like all steroids is used to reduce inflammation, however, it can also cause skin irritation, so the side effects may not be worth the effort of using this for bug bites. On the other hand, if I had a nasty case of poison ivy, I would run to get my prescription form of hydrocortisone to stop the madness!

Calamine lotion is a topical treatment that combines zinc oxide and iron oxide and is often used to reduce itching from various skin conditions like bites and poison ivy. When I was a child, I remember my mom rubbing the pink stuff on my older brothers when they ran into some poison ivy. This one also can have inactive ingredients which may affect those with allergies and has been known to cause skin rashes in some people. My brothers were happy to have it back then and thanked my mom for knowing how to make the itching stop!  

If you are looking for natural relief for the itching from your bug bite, what I have found works best for me and contains no harmful chemicals or steroids is Neem oil. It's available from Neem Tree Farms  or you can pick some up at your local whole foods or health foods store. When I rub a tiny bit of this essential oil on my affected skin, the itching stops within a minute or so and I also find that the redness goes away much quicker as well. As with any plant, however, you should always test a small area first to make sure that you will not have an allergic reaction.

Neem oil is also recommended by veterinarians as a natural tick repellent for your pets, so if you'd like a little added protection for Fido, try some out! I will warn you that it does not smell like roses. You may want to consider a scented version...

 

Enjoy a bug-free summer!

More Good Humor From Peggy McColl

 

Kathy walks into the kitchen and sees Rachel with the whole box of animal crackers spread out on the counter top.  

 

Kathy: "Why did you pour out the whole box?" 

 

Rachel: "The box says, 'Do not eat if the seal is broken.' I'm looking for the seal."
