Yes I would like to know how that goes.

That's a great idea. I'll pick some up. Looks like the health food shop across the road carries it

Not going to make myself nuts trying to figure out what is toxic in it because A. I don't have fleas and B. If I did, I would probably go back to using Advantage as I have NEVER in all my years had a problem with using it on my pups.

It bothers me when I read the following....it tells me that something starts off as toxic....how do they know it is diluted enough? I honestly don't know why people just google these things and take these websites wording as gospel. Scary.

From the site:

It sounds like it would be full of chemicals, is it?

Homeopathic medicine is by definition non- toxic. The plant chemicals that go into it are diluted to non-toxic levels.

Great :thumbup: Can't wait for your reviews! :)

I just found this break down of the ingredients:

“cedron 4C:” This is Simaruba Ferroginea, commonly called Rattlesnake Bean in a 10−8 dilution (i.e., 0.000001%) — This product is related to the pinto bean. It is likely nontoxic, especially at this dilution.

“grindelia 6C”: Grindelia Robusta or Gumweed in a 10−12 dilution (i.e., 0.0000000001%) — This ingredient is considered “Possibly Safe” at non-homeopathic doses by the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database

“ledum palustre 3X” : Marsh Tea in a 10−3 dilution (i.e., 0.1%) — This ingredient is considered “Likely Unsafe” at non-homeopathic doses by the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, causing kidney and urinary tract damage as well as central nervous system excitation.

“staphysagria 4X”: Delphinium staphisagria or Stavesacre in 10−4 dilution (i.e., 0.01%) — This ingredient is considered “Likely Unsafe” at non-homeopathic doses by the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, as it is poisonous.
“urtica urens 6X” : Stinging nettle in a 10−6 dilution (i.e., 0.0001%) — This ingredient is considered “Possibly Safe” at non-homeopathic doses by the Natural Medicines Comprehensive “cedron 4C:” This is Simaruba Ferroginea, commonly called Rattlesnake Bean in a 10−8 dilution (i.e., 0.000001%) — This product is related to the pinto bean.

Homeopathic Insect Repellent: Is there anything the Natural Health Products Directorate won’t approve? Alternative Medicine Health Skeptic North

Sounds like a bunch of hocus pocus.

As I said.....Scary!!! How can these people get away with this ? They use the word homeopathic and people assume it is safe.

Good grief. And, then people wonder why so many are skeptical of homeopathic remedies. Sure, there are some that are good...but I think people need to really really read and research before just taking the word of some unknown company that uses that word so freely. It is a bait word imo.

I ordered some today. We are outdoor people, and I will be trying this formula myself, and my partner is very interested. I will also use it for the dogs.
As an herbalist, I use homeopathics quite frequently. I have had many clients come to me as a 'last resort', with chronic health issues, that are effectively treated with homeopathy.
Homepathic doses are not toxic. The dilution takes care of any toxicity.
With all of the drugs that have been pulled after FDA approval because they are found to be dangerous, I read the research myself.

Yeah there's nobody to pull this kinda stuff if it's dangerous. And really you don't know if it's diluted to not be toxic but saying that means it is using things that are toxic!

What research? This stuff has no one overseeing it....and I doubt there are any real research studies. This website clearly states there are toxic things in their product and you just take their word for it that they have diluted it enough?

Be careful is all I can say.

Just checking back to see how your trial on this mosquito repellent is going for you since you offered to try it out on yourself. :)

no mosquitoes yet

So it's too early for mosquitos to be hatched in your area? It's been very cold still.

I've seen them here in New England. Ticks are out too, and my husband is being treated for Lyme after being bit by a Lyme tick. So there will be no Mosi-q or amber fossil or lamb organ diluted at 1:100,000,000 for my dogs. Thinking about giving the husband heartgard and frontline as well.

Great idea! Make sure to give him a belly rub afterward if he's a good boy :p
