Answered

Does anyone know of an effective pet friendly bug repellent? The mosquitoes at the dog park are brutal and they just looooove me! I'm afraid to use the regular stuff because the dogs are always licking on me. Any suggestions?

  Do I just apply it straight, in a carrier oil, or dilute it with water?
