Fisherman's Natural Bug Repellent

Thanks to NJ Angler Magazine for giving us such great press on our Fishermen’s Natural Bug Repellent! I have pasted the article below:

Absolute Green is an Absolute Must for Anglers
New environmentally safe insect repellant keeps bugs at bay
Outdoorsmen are at constant odds with the elements, and finding
ways to cope with the forces of nature is part of being an outdoorsman.
As winter fades to spring, then spring into summer,
insects appear in greater numbers, especially at key fishing times,
when they sure can become a nuisance and a distraction on the water.
Their presence is unavoidable. Unfortunately, some of the most tried
and true methods of dealing with insects can be damaging to an
angler’s health, their equipment and even the fish. Thanks to Karen
Halo of Absolute Green, creator of “Fisherman’s Natural Bug
Repellent,” anglers now have a safe option for overcoming an age-old
problem.
Based right here in Metuchen, New Jersey, Halo started Absolute
Green after being overcome by fumes she inhaled while doing work in
her home. The loyal New Jersey native’s vow to save other people
from having the same experience has yielded a full line of environmentally
friendly alternatives, including cleaning supplies, and personal
and pet care products. Halo and her new company are dedicated to preserving
and protecting the environment, and anglers can benefit from
their efforts with a bug repellent free of toxic chemicals.
The special formula repellent does not contain DEET, a chemical that has been found to have adverse effects on
both one’s health and the environment; not to mention the way it reacts to various synthetic materials that anglers
use every time they are out on the water. DEET can dissolve fiberglass and composite fishing rods, the epoxy on
boats, rain gear, watches, as well as many plastic and painted surfaces. Also, DEET that is transferred to a fish can
stay with that fish forever, and may ultimately wind up being consumed.
Absolute Green’s repellant is made from witch hazel, ethyl alcohol and a combination of natural oils. It contains
no toxic chemicals, no foul smells and doesn’t leave an oily film when it dries. It is a safe and environmentally friendly
alternative to keeping bugs away, while at the same time protecting angler’s valued gear and the fish.
