does it prevent deer ticks or horseflies from biting also?
Good Question. There has been no research done to date that indicated that either insect species has any adverse distaste for Vitamin B1. We have however, received some positive feedback from a customer that said the patched worked with him while golfing against horse and deer flies. • I had noticed that alcohol and smoking will affect this product. Can you please explain further? Thank you. Alcohol and tobacco are known to affect blood chemistry and as a result can influence how the patch will work. Testing seems to indicate that those who are drinking or who are smokers will require re-application of the Insect DEFEND Patch more frequently than non-smokers or those who have not been drinking. Since both alcohol and tobacco are known to limit the effects of vitamins it may also be possible that the Insect DEFEND Patch is slightly less effective. Great question, try the DEFEND patch and let us know your experience!
