Sulphur powder and tablets used to feature in many treatments from the past. The brother of one of my schoolfriends was given a course of sulphur tablets to combat rampaging teenage acne and then given carbon tablets to combat the evil smelling gas produced from his digestive system.

The barber I used forty years ago recommended a "spirits and sulphur" treatment for severe dandruff and scaly scalp.

Sulphur is used extensively as a dusting powder in horticulture to ward off all manner of attacks.

If you can find a veterinary surgeon with a long grey beard and a memory to match you have a very good chance of finding the information you seek. Most old vets, like most old doctors were also highly competent apothecaries.
Similarly a pharmacist of the old school was also a competent apothecary., being forced from necessity to manufacture his own remedies from cheap ingredients in working class districts to service the community.

Good luck!

Stinger bk500 series electric outdoor insect killer. The the black UV light worked for 20 minutes, shut off, & won't come back on. It is set for 24 hour mode. Company no help. Any suggestions?

Not all insects with stingers leave them behind after they bite you. Bumble bees, wasps, hornets and yellow jackets all inject their venom into your body with stingers, but only honey bees leave the stinger embedded in your flesh.

Which insect repellent is the best against mosquitoes' bites?

I personally find the Autan very satisfying. This brand provides several kinds of products in different forms, like long lasting protection sprays, pumps and wipes, after-bite gels and creams, baby sprays and sticks, aftersun lotions etc. And they are all particularly gentle on the skin, especially the Family Care.
Here is their website:
