Big bush whacker

Howard is right about the Sassafras and Marigold's,vitamin B will work also if your take it on a regular basis like a vitamin supplement.Now Robin if i send you a Bowie would you make me a Butcher knife,LOL you did a great job on that conversion and the sheath.I gotta get back to work
 
If you sent me a bowie like the one I made the sheath for I could make 2 butcher knives out of it ;-)))

i took a quick look at the sassafras tea idea, there seems to be alot of warnings with its consumption, and was illegal for a long time
Do not eat the small, white berries of the sassafras tree. Use any herbal ingredients with caution, as their toxicity may be unknown.

Sassafras is a blood-thinner (AKA: A Detoxification Agent for the Body) Use in small amounts. Make your blood too thin and it will come through the skin. Ask an old farmer and he'll tell you how much.

Sassafras contains agents that are known to cause liver damage and cancer according to FDA of the USA.

im not doubting that it may keep mozzies away, im just not sure im willing to lose my liver for the convenience
this information seems to be accurate, ive spent the last half hour reading different sites and articles on the subject, and all mentioned liver damage over time

Mike, you may be correct. I haven't read the reports you are talking about. The people I know that use it are 80-100 years old living in NC, Tenn., and other southern states that have been using it their whole lives. I am on cumadin, major blood thinner and rat poison, prescribed by the doctors and my blood's INR has been over 7 whereas 2-3 is normal and have never had blood coming through my skin. All medicines are poisons to some degree. The FDA will try to scare you to death of anything they have not approved. Most of the law suits against companies that manufacture drugs for the harm they do are FDA approved. Just another opinion, but I don't trust the FDA very much.

The FDA and it's Canadian counterpart are a bunch of drug pushing big pharma yes men intent on eradicating the use of herbal Medicine.All you have to do is watch big pharma ads about their "miracle" drugs to know that there are more negative side affects to most drugs than the healing qualities it supposedly has. I'll stick with dangerous herbs thanks. ;-))

Best regards
