Suggest Natural Remedy To Keep Away Mosquito From Biting
I live in S. Fl and the mosquito problem this year is really bad. My daughter repeadtly gets bit during school. I'm not allowed to send her with any type of cream, spray or wrist band and it's too hot for long sleeves. Is there anything she can eat that will keep the bugs away from her naturally. Thanks

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are mosquito repellents that can last 8 to 9 hours. If she applies one of these prior to school, it would last the entire day.
One of these repellents would be readily available at your local pharmacy or supermarket.
The school should also take a look at their surroundings to see if there are areas of water collection that are encouraging breeding of mosquitoes.
It only takes a bottle cap of water.
I hope this helps
