It is getting time for the bugs that like to snack on us humans to start showing up.
What are you using to keep them from snacking on you?
My list includes
Lemon balm
Mints
Cinnamon
Lavender
Rosemary
Generally any strong smelling herb will work to repel bugs. You just have to be sure to apply them on every exposed area of skin.

A bonus of using herbs to repel those snackers is that you also benefit from them in other ways.
