Nobody likes to be a bug’s dinner. We all love summer time, but adults and kids alike, can’t stand the impending doom of being covered in little, itchy, menacing bumps. The good news, is that it’s totally possible to enjoy a summer vacation, camping at the lake or a day at the river, without the undesirable bug attack. We are going to tell you the best tips to avoid bug bites this summer on the inside and out.
Mosquitoes find their victims by smell. More specifically, their sensory organs are trained to hone in on sources of carbon dioxide and lactic acid because these chemicals lead them to warm-blooded animals, like you and me.
What’s great is that we can defend our bodies on both the inside and outside by looking at what attracts mosquitos and other bugs to some people more than others.
Everyone has a distinctive, fingerprint sort of smell to our bodies. Of the 400 aromatic compounds making up the human scent, 30 seem to have a masking effect. If any of those compounds are prominent in your particular body, you will naturally be less noticeable to mosquitos. On the flip side, there are other compounds that work to attract the bugs to your scent… like a magnet. Ten percent of the population are mosquito magnets.
How about we change the odds by changing the dominant aromatic compounds?
First, let’s think preventative. If you have the option to avoid exerting yourself, you’ll attract less bugs. This is hard, considering it’s summer. But the truth is, when you exercise, you give off more lactic acid and carbon dioxide, which is pretty much happy hour for mosquitos. If you want to exercise, try swimming, or taking a dip frequently to rinse off what you’re putting out.
Foods to eat?
Start with garlic. Garlic offers a mild amount of protection through both the odor on your breathe as well as from through the sulfur compounds emitted from your skin.
Pass on the salt and potassium, as they increase the amount of lactic acid, which as mentioned above, attracts the bugs. Skip the sugary fruits- especially bananas – and go for cucumber, apples, watermelon, blueberries or green peppers. This way, you aren’t missing out of fruit!
How to defend from the outside?
Essential oils are always our favorite natural remedies.
1. Citronella – found in many candles and natural bug repelling sprays 2. Marigold // Calendula – great as a lotion or found in candles3. Lavender – amazing multi purpose oil.. this one you should have regardless at all times. It’s anti-microbial and a natural bug repellent. Just dab it on major body points to keep those blood suckers away.4. Peppermint – similar to lavender, this one is multi purpose. Keep it around to soothe upset tummies, headaches, to repel bugs and even to treat the bite if they DO get through!5. EucalyptusOur favorite multi-functional remedy, naturally makes the list. You can bring our eucalyptus oil shower mist along for the trip and spray both your body, your tent and the area around you to keep the bugs away. They don’t like the smell or taste of it at all, and you get the benefit of clearing your lungs out even more while breathing in the fresh mountain air!
There are the tips! Don’t be the bug’s dinner this year. Choose good foods and toxin-free natural remedies to keep those annoying bugs at bay! Eurospa wants your summer to be a fun and bug free one!

Become One with the Environment at the Four Seasons Spa.
Scottsdale is the Bel Air of the Sonoran Desert. Located just Northeast of Phoenix, it has come to be known as the destination of the pampered classes.
The Four Seasons Hotels are also known for locating their charming resorts in the best playlands on earth. No exception here. In writing this review, the words seemed
inadequate, and I really just wanted to resort to pictures.
The spa has picked up on the aura of both the desert setting and the clients they serve. Examples of the spa services include:
Jojoba and prickly pear polish
This full-body exfoliation combines deeply penetrating jojoba oil with the healing properties of prickly pear to leave the skin smooth and moisturised.
Sonoran honey body polish
A Sonoran honey and refreshing orange sugar scrub is used in this vigorous and effective body exfoliation.
The reviews online were sparse, but all save one were gushing with praise for the facility and the staff. The lone negative reviewer may have merely shown up on a day where either a staff member or the reviewer, herself was in a bad mood.
The Four Seasons Spa is pricey, and they would probably be the first to acknowledge that. You are paying for the setting, the outstanding personnel, the unique service offerings, and the option of spending time before and after enjoying other hotel amenities.
Erica Tiffany, writing for online mag, sheknows.com in the beauty and style section, had this to say about the Four Season Spa in Scottsdale:
Nestled North of the Valley in the tranquil Arizona desert, Four Seasons Troon North is a safe haven for women in need of some ‘me time.’ From the moment I stepped on the grounds, I was impressed. I was encouraged to use their fitness room, go hike nearby Pinnacle Peak or spend the rest of my day lounging in a cabana by their sky-blue pool. It really made the entire day memorable! But, I was most impressed by the professional attitude of everyone I encountered. They really made me feel welcome and special!
Of course, as with any proper spa, this one offers a eucalyptus steam room. The 100% pure eucalyptus oil is injected directly into the steam to provide a perfect harmony of soothing essential oil and steam. Every part of your body will thank you for spending time in their steam room.
