The Food and Drug Administration recommends for people to stay protected against diseases like malaria, they need to add mosquito repellent with DEET, to their regimen. However, not everyone can tolerate the smell of DEET and many often have complained of eye or skin irritation. That's why there are many other natural mosquito repellent options registered with the FDA. One such option is the natural mosquito repellent product a Sarasota woman created from an old family recipe. Jeanette Miller's family has had a history of deadly mosquito-borne illnesses while living in Puerto Rico, a territory of the United States in the tropical Caribbean. She said the recipe which was passed down to her great aunt is helping to make a difference here in the Tampa Bay area and across the country. She shared the story that inspired her business which she traced back to the 1930s in Puerto Rico where her family was worried about frequent malaria and dengue fever outbreaks that killed many relatives, friends and neighbors.
