_Wilson_™ 5,984 Posted Monday at 11:13 AM Dryer sheets is an old trick... Been there.... As for skin so soft.... Never heard anyone say they worked for much more then keeping seed tics at bay... Garlic in the diet sure fire works.... But not only on insects lol! Read this a while back I've used those citrus candles ... I can't tell. Much defrence... But then again it could be the grill smoke and that combined .... I just know they should be here by now, but ū not a single bite... ""It might have something to do with the linalool present in the sheets, but there's also beta-citronellol in those sheets, which sounds derived from the same chemical base as those ever-present citronella candles (our chemistry degree seems to have been lost in the mail).""
