Deer Repellent

2 eggs
1 cup skim milk
1 cup water
2 TBS liquid dish detergent

you want to protect.  Repeat every
week or so, or after a rain.  
Refrigerate any unused repellent.  
I emulsify the eggs in a blender,
and then stir in remaining
ingredients.  For milk I've been
using up the dry powder supply
from Y2K (reconstituted)  and that
works fine, or use fresh.  Recycled
laundry stain remover spray
containers work well for applying
the repellent.

I got the recipe from Kraftmeyer
Fine Gardens and believe the
Missouri Botanic Garden
developed it.  You can get a list of
deer resistant plants from
Kraftmeyer.

How to get rid of skunk spray odor smell.

So. You or your dog or even a part of your house
has been sprayed by a skunk, and now you want to
get rid of the smell.

These tactics WILL NOT work very well:
•        Bath in tomato juice
•        Spray with lemon or orange citrus
•        Masking agents like perfume or Fabreze

How do you eliminate the odor once you have been
sprayed by a skunk? Well first of all, you or your
dog should have known the warning signs ahead
of time. A skunk will give many clear signals before
it sprays. If threatened, it will stamp its front feet,
arch its back, and shuffle away. If you don't leave
right away, it will turn its posterior toward you,
raise the tail, and release the smelly musk, a sulfur-
alcohol compound, from special glands near the
anus. This spray not only stinks, but burns and can
cause temporary blindness if it is sprayed directly
into the eyes. Since you didn't take heed and got
sprayed, here is how to get rid of the smell:
Here is the secret recipe that WORKS.


 Mix the following:

•        1 quart 3 percent hydrogen peroxide
•        1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
•        1 teaspoon liquid soap or dish detergent
•        Mix these together and bathe ("shampoo"
in or rub down) the spray victim thoroughly.
•        Be sure to use this mixture immediately
after it is created, as it is unstable.
•        Rinse with tap water afterward, and repeat
if necessary.
•        For spray in the eyes, flush with water as
soon as possible.

If you can't go to all of the trouble of buying
hydrogen peroxide at your local drug store, then a
2% vinegar solution will help a bit. But please, don't
bother with the old tomato juice tactic unless you
want to smell like skunk + tomato.
TICK REMOVAL

Spring will be here soon and the ticks
will soon be showing their heads.
Here is a good way to get them off you,
your children, or your pets.
Give it a try. Please forward to anyone
with children... Or hunters or dogs,
or anyone who even steps outside in
summer!!

A School Nurse has written the info
below--good enough to share. And
it really works!!

I had a pediatrician tell me what she
believes is the best way to remove a
tick. This is great because it works in
those places where it's sometimes
difficult to get to with tweezers: between
toes, in the middle of a head
full of dark hair, etc.
Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton
ball. Cover the tick with the
soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for a
few seconds (15-20). The tick
will come out on its own and be stuck to
the cotton ball when you lift it
away.
This technique has worked every time
I've used it (and that was
frequently), and it's much less traumatic
for the patient and easier for me.

Unless someone is allergic to soap, I
can't see that this would be damaging
in any way. I even had my doctor's wife
call me for advice because she had
one stuck to her back and she couldn't
reach it with tweezers. She used
this method and immediately called me
back to say, "It worked!"
