I want to go in sun to help my bones with natural vitamin D and for the relaxing of the tendons from the sun heat. But bugs eat me to death and I’m allergic to almost all bug remedies because of essential oils, perfumes, or nasty pesticide smell. I have multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome.

Members discussed finding bug spray options for someone with multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome who reacts to perfumes and essential oils. Several members acknowledged the challenge, noting that most effective bug sprays contain fragrances or strong scents, with one member sharing that unscented Off exists but doesn't work well. The conversation shifted toward practical alternatives like using a mosquito net tent outdoors, with members offering encouragement and support as the original poster planned to look for a sturdy folding chaise lounge and bug netting to safely enjoy time outside.

I saw an awesome pop up mosquito tent but looks like it is for a child for Boys Scouts. Maybe Walmart have something tomorrow. I have trouble finding lawn chairs that don’t break with me at 208 lbs.Gonna look for folding chaise lounge and mosquito net so can enjoy nature. Live in a buggy swamp.

They make a really lame non effective unscented Off. I’m gonna have to put up a mosquito net. Having hard time finding a decent one that doesn’t have a sun guard too on it and doesn’t fall apart first time use it,
