Would this oil be bad for hiking also? Jane we usually blend it with some base note oils that also are reputed to have insect repellant qualities. then we dilute the blend to 2.5% in carrier... Or use it in a lotion bar at less than 2%... OR dissolve it in alcohol or polysorb and make a water based spray out of it. feedback from clients indicates that it seems to last about the same amount of time that DEET does...but is much nicer to use.
