Asthma Support Group
Asthma is a disease of the human respiratory system where the airways narrow, often in response to a "trigger" such as exposure to an allergen, cold air, exercise, or emotional stress. This airway narrowing causes symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, which respond to bronchodilators.
It just occured to me, I remember the allergist explaining the things that I'm allergic to. One of those things was an ingrediant in pestacides! I wonder if I was reacting to the pestacide that I sprayed in and around the camper to keep the spiders out! It was that Ortho home defense stuff. PLUS!!! we had to coat ourselves with more bug spray than usual. hmm. I didn't even bring it up to the doctor. He thought it was because of all of the activity that is involved with camping that gave me my asthma attack!
What do ya think?

Someone at work was talking about Listerine. They said that if you spray Listerine around your yard, it will keep mosquitoes away for awhile. I haven't tried it, but it can't hurt. We have been getting lots of rain here (Florida) and the mosquitoes are starting to come out.
Maybe try a search for natural spider repellents....
