What is itchy and bug bitten and smells like dirty socks? Your family, after a few days in the woods. Combat the funk with a new, nontoxic Organic Outdoor Kit from Middlebury-based Vermont Soap Organics. The biodegradable liquid Camping Soap allows you to get an outdoor shower without worrying about what your soap might do to the ecosystem. A citronella Camping Spray helps keep the bugs at bay. And the Plant Itch Relief uses organic aloe vera, jewelweed, oats and rosemary to stop the scratching.
