Regarding the B-1--my son once had horribly infected flea bites which showed as huge lumps in his calves. The dermatologist told us about the B-1, and said that his wife made a solution out of it which totally eradicated the aphid and other pests from her prize-winning rose bushes. I started using it(after hundreds of sand fly and mosquito bites) a few weeks before I was in Roatan for Semana Santa, and no bites! Worth a try!
