Whether you fish, hunt, hike, garden or just spend time at the local park picnicking, you will always have those biting bugs flying over your head. Millions of Americans each year reach for their can of bug repellant which contains the chemical named DEET. For years we have sprayed our bodies with this chemical which was deemed save. Previous studies were done on the short terms effects of DEET, not the long term. The effects of DEET don’t usually appear right away. Sometimes they can take months or even years. Besides headaches, fatigue, and nausea, DEET toxicity can result in tremors, muscle spasms, seizure, and coma.

The chemical has shown to have a destructive effect on animal and water sources. It’s estimated that over seventy-five percent of the world’s water sources are contaminated with DEET. Everyday, animals, plants, and humans drink this water, consuming more and more of this chemical.

Is there an alternative that is still powerful enough to protect you from biting bugs that may carry harmful diseases such as the West Nile Virus? Last year we were introduced to a brand new product named TerraShield.

TerraShield(TM) is an all-natural, super-concentrated insect repellent formulated with a proprietary blend of 15 Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade(TM) essential oils that have been scientifically shown to repel insects more effectively than other synthetic insect repellents. Just a small amount of super-concentrated TerraShield will provide powerful coverage and lasts up to 6 hours per application. TerraShield smells great and can be used safely by everyone in the family without worry.
