I have been experimenting with coconut oil for Black Fly, Deer Fly, and whatever that new little black triangle SOB is, and have had favorable results. They fly around but will not land. The downside is it is a little greasy and I feel it keeps your body a little warmer than I would like. The other thing is an overwhelming craving for a Pina Colada.

😆 laughed out loud at the pina colada, it’s my favourite cocktail. Coconut oil eh? Is there anything it can’t do? What a hero product. Thanks for the tip, anything’s worth a try 🙂

BTW; there is a local product sold around named "After Bite". It is a handy tube of ammonia solution and takes away the sting and reduces swelling. It is indispensable.

Thank you for reminding me, I’d forgotten about that, used it before and it’s quite effective
