Be aware of skin allergies - Test this product in small amounts first!
I've never had a skin allergy before, but I got a red rash (NOT raised) that was so itchy I couldn't bear it. This happened on the tail end of a Costa Rica trip last summer (about 2-3 days after I first used this product), and I thought originally that it was from the sun or a plant (I've had respiratory-type allergies to plants before). Low and behold, I used this product again before a softball game this summer, and now, 24 hours later, my skin is red in all applied areas and I'm getting the intense itchiness again. I'm worried, as last summer the rash went away quickly but the itch lasted almost 8 weeks despite allergy medication (both OTC and doctor-prescribed), cold showers, oatmeal baths, you name it. I suppose the bottom line is to just be aware! Test this product in small amounts first. Don't assume you'll be fine (or your child will) for a summer outing or traveling. That being said, it does keep bugs away effectively. Too bad I can't use it!
