can this oil be used for bug bites

Yes it can. A good friend of mine had several bug bites that itched like crazy. Her Nigerian friend put red African palm oil on the bites, and they disappeared almost instantly. So, yes, definitely!

I have no idea. But, if it's an ant sting, you can use ammonia. The commercial bug bite remedies smell exactly and it works great!

From what I know, some people have suffer a post infection stage from insect bites, leaving them with small red dots for long periods of time after the initial bite. Applying Pure emu oil enhances the healing process and reduces scarring. Emu Oil has been shown to work as a naturally occurring analgesic reduce the itching and pain. Hope this helps.

I don't usually use essiential oils. I purchased this for my daughter to see if it would work to get rid of her warts on her feet.

I imagine so, but it is a small bottle. Johnson's baby oil would be a more economical choice.

I have not actually used it with a carrier oil, but rather mix it with witch hazel for use as a tick repellent for my family and dog. It works great in that regard.

I am sure you could, one drop mixed with a couple of drops of a carrier oil might be nice. I am just not sure if it would release any toxins in the air because I am not sure how natural this is.

I Never heard if that works for mosquitos but yes I put it in oil to make a pain remedy for healing and apply to my feet(about 20 drops to 2oz. of oil) I use skin so soft from avon to scare off my mosquitos. I spray it on my hand then lightly rub it in and it lasts about 2-4 hours then reapply.

According to this it can be. http://www.ehow.com/how_2164041_use-cedar-oil-as-insect.html Keep in mind this of course isn't a skin contact situation and you will need other ingredients. On the other hand, your clothing, your household, and your pets will have an aroma reminiscent of an old english wardrobe. So there is an upside.

I am not sure if Neem Oil kills ticks and fleas you will have to research that but I don't see it being a problem. It is a very concentrated bottle so you won't need a lot, the bottle comes with appropriate measurements.

I'm not 100% sure, but I would think so. I believe there is a list of all the insects it works on. It's similar to neem oil which works on most insects. Of course by blocking their mouths so they cant feed and eventually die off.

ABSOLUTELY! I live in south florida, so mosquitos are a big problem. And boy do they love me. I've tried everything. Some of the 80- 100% Deet sprays work well, but they are literally poison. This spray oil works equally well without making your lips numb and you nail polish peel off. I would highly recommend it. Hope this was helpful to you. Best, Kaeli

I'm not sure. I would be a little hesitant putting it on my skin. It's very thick and the smell would be very pervasive. I bought it to ward off stink bugs. I use cedar balls soaked with this cedar oil and place them between my interior windows and the storm windows. Seems to work.

I add to organic coconut based soap for cleaning and hand washing. I use in coconut oil for skin irritations and add the Plant Therapy Pain relief for arthritis in knees and ankles. I have residual Lyme disease that returned after antibiotic treatment. I use natural treatments now, and use this on my original "bull's eye" skin area regularly. Works great on mosquito bites too for pain relief and redness. Coconut oil is a natural infection fighter andthese oils mixed with it seem to keep me feeling better than before I started using them.

Yes, but it is a contact poison, so you must hit the bug with the spray. It does not last long once sprayed either, but this is par for the course with organic pesticides.

No! Use Dawn dish soap (the blue original), it will kill them on the spot. Never place pure oil on any animal or human skin.

I wouldn't think so. Neem oil destroys bugs that eat the leaves it's sprayed on. It's not a contact spray or deterrant. Also, it has an unpleasant smell. I would get something like Deep Woods for your purpose.

Yes, this product can be used for that. I did it myself when I was using the product because that was one of the things I would bite when I was biting my nails.
