Don’t Bite Me! Patches and Bracelets

An alternative to sprays and lotions! Our friends at Don’t Bite Me! have some very convenient options to help keep you from being eaten alive by mosquitos on your next outdoor TrailblazerGirl adventure. We tested two of their products. First off, they offer a topical patch that is DEET-free and contains Vitamin B1 and aloe vera. The Vitamin B1 is absorbed into your bloodstream and metabolized, creating an odor that masks the carbon dioxide that we naturally emit through our pores that attracts the biting nasties. Place the clear patch on your hip, butt, upper back, or outer upper arm 2 hours before you head outside, and you’ll have odor-less, waterproof protection for up to 36 hours. Yippee! Next, we tested their Mosquito Repellent Bracelet. There are 2 per pack so you can share with a friend (aren’t you nice!), double up, or save one for later. These are also DEET-free and use a blend of 100% natural essential oils, Citronella, Lemongrass, Geranium, Lavender, and Peppermint, to keep you bite free. Wear the adjustable, waterproof bracelet on your wrist, ankle, or tie it to your shirt, and it will lasts for up to 15 days. Don’t be a mosquito magnet, get Don’t Bite Me!
