I think that we maybe crazy, my husband and I went into moose country in Algonquin park this past weekend – translated for non-campers – we went into the heart of mosquito country during prime mosquito season during what may be one of the worst mosquito years across Canada!
We quickly discovered that as September campers we were unprepared for the swarms of mosquitoes. After the first of 3 portages I was sure that I would be a mess of bites for a week or more - but hours after leaving the bush I had no remaining bites!
How is that possible you ask? Well, once we were in the relative safety of our camp site I dug through my homeopathic first aid kit and did what I could to prevent more blood letting. I dosed us with ledum & staphesagria – I would have preferred frequent low doses, but I worked with what I had and it helped. I am not saying that we didn’t get bitten – we did. We were bitten, but infrequently and the bites were only mildly itchy and resolved themselves quickly. I was amazed.
I have looked into chemical free mosquito solutions and discovered some interesting things.
