........if it works against clegs you'll really get a glowing review; I have to carry an epi pen because of those miserable blighters.

Fi said we will limit it to 10, so if everyone so far on the list would pm me your postal details we will get it in the post to you, Toddy not 100 % on clegs but it was tested in Dartmoor where the guy testing the 1st batch had been bitten in the past by the dreaded cleg and they kept away, give it a try but keep the epi pen in reserve.

Dave the chances are extremely low, you use very little per application as you just rub and dab on exposed area's.

I am allergic to so many blasted things :sigh:
Tell you what though, I'll ask Fi if anything I am likely to react to is in the mix, and if there isn't anything, then better yet, you'll really be on a winner.
The latest is, I kid you not, Ecover cleaners :( They add a chemical that 'might' cause an allergic reaction, and it damned well does.
I'll pm :)

Yes, Xylaria has just sent me a PM letting me know about it. Im satisfied it'll be absolutely fine, and understand why you might want to keep your ingredients secret.
Didnt mean to ruin your opportunity. Sounds like good stuff. Im sure you'll get loads of reccomendations. I'd certainly use it.

:goodluck:

Well I'm a big midge magnet but missed out.

I've used natural products before and had 33-50% of my body come up in hives so in some ways glad I've missed out. You never know what might affect people though so testers shld stop using it if you get a reaction. Test a small area first, etc. etc. Yadayada and all that small print.

If it works I Wld like to buy some despite the above. So far only Wilma's Nordic summer works for me but that can stink a bit. I've had 5m high cloud above my head following me before now so am in need of something.

Will you post on here your results and if you'll be producing and selling it?
