Hurrah, summer is here which is fantastic but that also means the little critters that can make our balmy warm evenings not so fun want to join us. There are many products, creams and sprays that can be bought off the shelf to use on ourselves. Many of these products contain chemicals such as DEET which can cause skin irritation and if consumed can have wide variation of side effects from vomiting to hives on the skin.

Things are most definitely heating up, well the weather at least… In the UK we often find ourselves concentrating on how we can keep the heat in, over the last few years we are trying to find solutions to keep the heat out!
