RE: Homemade Gnat Repellent
Garnet hunting?? Locally? Hmmm.... you peaked my curiosity there! We have a spot WAY up north that we are going to at the end of the month, but someplace much closer would be nice to know of! I hope you find the motherload!
The banana and vanilla make the stuff smell EXACTLY like Bubble Yum or Bubblicous regular flavor gum. Their formula must contain the 2 flavors to some degree. The first time I sprayed the repellent on my skin I was instantly transported back to childhood and the flavor of the gum.
Oh I am so sorry it took me three whole days to reply back, it's been beyond banana oil round here, LOL!
The Emerald Creek Garnet Area is south of Saint Maries, Idaho, so a bit of a jaunt for ya, but not too far. Totally a fun day trip. I always bring home over a pound of star garnets, but then again I get a bit of garnet fever and dig like a fiend, LOL
Oh, your formula sounds delish! I would want to lick my arms if it smelled like Bubblicious, what a flashback! I am super impressed!
