Vitamin B-1.....bugs hate it! Ticks....flees......Mosquitos.

Wow! That is amazing! Thanks for posting that.

I am just like you. Everything bites me and only me. I used to say my blood was sweet because I was the only one that had 100 red bumps on me, LOL.

My chiropractor had told me about that several years ago, but then I was told from someone else that it isn't good to have too much of just one of the B vitamins, that it puts you out of balance, so I didn't continue it. But I also don't like the idea of the deet either. My husband said it can't be worse than getting sick again.

I take a bunch of other b vit. in a powder form. Along with all of the other supplements that they gave me.
But this was the first time that they were just flying around me. It was so odd. But I am going to put my 5 year old on it too, but need to check to see how much I can give her first.
But gosh...we get the stupid lyme ever summer...so I would rather be BBBBB'd out for now. lol

I hear you and agree! Thanks for reminding me!

Do you think I can give it to my dog? I've only been bitten once that I know of. I believe my new infection was a relapse, and not a new bite. He is the one with all the ticks, and once they're in his fur, I seem to not always be able to find them until they are feeding. And the deer ticks are the hardest to find, if not impossible. He has been infected twice too. We can't keep going through this!

oh sky...if your dog is covered in ticks....man....you are going to get re infected daily darlin.

the ticks are the size and color of sugar...the babies. I can not see them without my reading glasses on...and barely even then. It is like counting sugar.


Oh! If you want to test your back yard...to see what bugs, flees, ticks that you have....

Go and buy a bag a dry ice. Public here had it.

Place it in the middle of your yard on a board. And leave it there for a couple of hours...maybe 3.
And then go out and look and see what is on the board.
The ticks come..and so do the flees.

This is a test that is done on school grounds to see what is lurking there.
We had fless galor. But no longer.
You have to wash the dogs with flee shampoo. get their hair all buzed off. we call them puppy cuts.
throw out anything that these things can nest up in.
The had gotten into my down comforter. I threw it all out. have the back yard done...etc.
Take the dogs to the groomer and while they are there goet the yard zapped hard. Start clean.
Oranize it. Or have someone help you.
You have to get the ticks off of your dog. Becuase they will keep making you sick. I had this problem too.

I am going to eat more garlic too then

I had 4 acres in the middle of a forrest in martha's vineayrd. That is where we all got sick. Of course there was wild life everywhere.

I have always been very relaxed about having my homes srayed and pesticides. I prefer to keep the house very clean than spray for stuff.

But I had to have a special comp come to my home there. And they brought a truck and used a huge hose and sprayed all around the entire property line. She sprayed like she was putting a fire out. It smelled bad for days. And it had to be done twice a year.

Now in florida I have the house done twice a year. And I wash the dogs every weeks and keep them with short hair. And I never take my dogs to out in the pubilc or on the street.

I believe Apple Cider Vinegar also helps repel bugs. B1 is also calming and the excess is excreted in your urine. You really can't overdose. I used to give it to my excitable horses but I found out magnesium works best for nerves.
