Everybuddy Needs Sunbuddy Sometime

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I am
reaching out to let you know I am taking an important step in growing my dream
business of Sunbuddy Sunscreen.  Of
course to do this, I need the support of each and every friend and family
member and colleagues….that’s where you come in!! The good news is, there are
irresistible rewards involved for YOU in exchange for your support.

How does
this work?  I am using a “crowdfunding”
platform to raise the money to grow my venture-it works by attracting many
small donations from a large group of (friends, family, professional contacts
and customers to meet a funding goal. “Backers” give contributions in exchange
for rewards or perks offered by sunbuddy sunscreen.

An example
of “crowdfunding” is an NPR pledge drive-if you donate $25.00 to NPR, donors
may get a t-shirt or coffee mug, or get to go behind the scenes at a special
event etc.

So, if you
are willing to help me reach my goal in 30 days, there are three simple steps
to assist me-

Step 1:  Go to http://peerbackers.com/projects/everybody-needs-sunbuddy-sometime/

Step 2: Find
a pledge level that interest you and click on “back this project”

Step 3: You
will be asked to register on the site to complete the backing. (this is so

they can
track what project gets the contribution and who gets what reward mailed.)

THANK you in
advance for any and all support you can offer….whether it is just wishing me
well,                           or
sharing this link with others (VERY IMPORTANT), or choosing a reward level at
which to back us.  (Great rewards start
at only $25.00).  Having your belief in
me-and what I am trying to accomplish with this venture-means more that I can
say.  By supporting me, you not only help
one small USA business but you will be playing a role in getting our economy
back on track—as it will happen one business at a time!

I am excited
to have the opportunity to participate in this new way to raise capital for my
venture and would very much appreciate you help!!

Warm
Regards,

Deborah

Dangers of deet

Insect Repellent Myths Revealed:
Which Insect Repellants Really Work and Which are Toxic?
by www.SixWise.com

Getting eaten alive by mosquitoes or invaded by a swarm of ants or flies are among the fastest ways to break up your summer picnics, barbeques and outdoor gatherings. Unfortunately, they’re par for the course at this time of year.

Theories abound about natural and not-so-natural ways to keep bugs from interfering with your outdoor festivities, but which ones really work? Rather than making your friends and family act as guinea pigs at your next barbeque, why not read through what the research says first? This way you’ll be armed with an arsenal of safe and effective insect repellants to keep the bugs away while your family plays!

The Dangerously Effective Repellent You Should Avoid Like the Plague

Insect Repellents that contain DEET make up the lion share of the market. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), about one-third of the U.S. population uses DEET-containing products every year.

Their popularity is likely due to the fact that they do work very well at killing insects, but at what expense to your health? You should know that although the EPA maintains that “normal use of DEET does not present a health concern to the general population,” this chemical is a known neurotoxin.

Studies conducted at Duke University have found that using DEET frequently or for extended periods may damage your brain cells, resulting in:

• Memory loss
• Headache
• Weakness and fatigue
• Muscle and joint pain
• Tremors
• Shortness of breath

Further, the EPA has based their safety studies on brief exposures to DEET. They state, “Human exposure is expected to be brief, and long-term exposure is not expected.”

What, you may be wondering, then happens to the family that uses DEET over an extended period of time? Studies have shown that when used in high amounts, or for long periods of time, DEET is far from safe.

According to research by Mohamed Abou-Dania, a professor at Duke University, while lab rats had no reaction to DEET when it was used for 30 days, after 60 days their brain cells started to die. This chemical has also been shown to cause nervous-system damage, including:

• Insomnia
• Mood changes
• Disorientation and clumsiness when walking
• Seizures
• Coma
• Even death

Further, groundbreaking new research that came out last year revealed that DEET is, in fact, toxic to the central nervous system. Writing in the journal BMC Biology, the French researchers wrote, “We’ve found that deet is not simply a behavior-modifying chemical but also inhibits the activity of a key central nervous system enzyme, acetycholinesterase, in both insects and mammals.” They continue:

“Deet is commonly used in combination with insecticides and we show that deet has the capacity to strengthen the toxicity of carbamates, a class of insecticides known to block acetylcholinesterase.

These findings question the safety of deet, particularly in combination with other chemicals, and they highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the development of safer insect repellents for use in public health.“

Also, as soon as you come inside and wash DEET from your skin and clothing (something the EPA recommends you do right away), that DEET gets washed down the drain, and as a result is now showing up in rivers, lakes and also your drinking water
