Will using Bounce on 'symptoms could dryer sheets cause if used on 'body? I always thought it was ok as they tell you to use it in your drawers to freshen your socks,undies,etc and ward off 'insects. Just wondered if it really does ward off mosquitos or is it just a hoax?

I have tried putting one in your pocket and it works but not really well. A product like off or muskol anything with deet works alot better. If you just used one in your dryer I doubt it would have any effect at all. Mosquitoes are hard to fool and they are attracted by the co2 you exhale. The only nonchemical way I have found is insect hats that have the netting...PS the main thing in dryer sheets is wax, they also have a scent which is basically perfume...The used dryer sheets are handy for dusting dust really sticks to them well

Can't say I have ever heard of using it for mosquitos or on the body; however it could cause a rash and possibly even hives. Wash up asap to get the residue off maybe even a couple times and give it time to heal, and you might even talk to your doctor.

So you want to know if they ward off mosquitoes? I think they do. I've never tried it, but I don't think it's a hoax.

some people tend to have allergies to some ingredients/products used to make the dryer sheets.

Allergic reactions such as rashes can occur. There are hypoallergenic ones, I think all puts out a fragrance free one.
