I smell like a hospital (or worse)! My dear sweet loving helpful husband read where listerine is a GREAT mosquito repellant. We are just covered up with mosquitos here since we've had so much rain in the last few weeks.

I get bites all over my legs when I go out to check or water my garden. I had some repellant, but it just didn't seem to be working very well, and I don't like to use the strong stuff with DEET.

So, I gave in today and got some listerine and put it in a spray bottle. LORDY! Do I smell funny - well not funny - I smell like listerine!!! I DEFINITELY can not use it in the morning before I go to work! LOL!!!

Yucko!! I've heard that some desperate people drink Listerine for the alcohol content when they can't get their hands on anything else. Is there something you want to tell us?

OMG! If I thought I had to drink Listerine, I would just hurl! WHEW!

Gary just asked me if it worked, and I guess so, I don't seem to have any new bites, at least nothing is itching right now........ I guess time will tell. The smell disappeared in about an hour.

We should have bathed in it at the beach. The mosquitoes were tough right before dark.
