I seem to be a magnet for mosquitoes, spiders, and other little biting critters every time we go camping. Last weekend, I ended up with 6 nasty welts, mostly quarter-size, with one about the size of a deck of cards. Since my husband and I are planning to retire to a full-time RV life and spend a lot of time in the woods, I'm actively seeking solutions to make the bugs hate me without having to slather myself in DEET every minute of the day.
The only thing off-limits are those noisy bug zappers - banned by most campgrounds. I'm trying to come up with an electronic repellant or a natural supplement or lotion that will repel bugs. If it works on raccoons, also, that would be a plus. We had an especially brave raccoon couple join us at our campfire one night - and I mean right at my elbow before I realized they were there!
