Beat the 

Mossies

As the summer slowly creeps in (yes the 100% Health team are also waiting for the summer to arrive) and the weather gets hot, the mossies come out (and trust me they have, Ouch!). The little vampires that suck our blood only happen to be the female of the species. They use the iron and protein in our blood to help feed their eggs. The mosquito’s saliva that they use to stop the blood from coagulating causes an allergic reaction which is why it itches.

At 100% Health we like to get outdoors when we get time off and to prevent getting the little red itch spots we take Viridians B1.

Vitamin B1 is great due to the production of a skin odour which is undetectable by humans, but those pregnant mosquitos hate it. However if your thinking about going on holiday tomorrow it may not be very effective as it take about two weeks to saturate the skin.

Jason’s Deet free Quit Bugging Me! Spray will keep bugs at bay for up to 3 hours. This natural insect repellent lotion spray is deet, PABA and Paraben Free, it is also safe for kids.
