BTW, this sounds weird, but I've tested it again and again and it really works. I used to be everyone else's mosquito repellant, i.e. they would suck so much of my blood they didn't need anyone else's. When we lived at Lake Tahoe, they had a bad mosquito problem but I didn't want to wear the recommended DEET. I had been doing a lot of chanting and just decided to use this aura strengthening mantra:
Om Namo Bhagavate Vaasu DeeVaaya
Now, granted, it's not for bugs, but it actually makes your aura bigger, and in my experience, the bugs bug off. It's like having a shield around your body. They buzz in then "hit" it and bounce off -- works for biting flies, too. I once used it in Reno as sunscreen when I was out all day and forgot to wear sunblock -- no burn at all. Like I said, sounds goofy, but it really works for bugs! Now squirrels ... that's another story. If you're kind of humming this sort of mantra to yourself and sitting at a picnic table, the other animals might come up closer than usual, but they don't bite. They just kind of hang out and enjoy the vibe.
