  In January, Tom Rogers posted a RFI concerning the  products shown at
http://www.cactusjuicetm.com .  I am more interested in the sunscreen and bug
reppellent combination, but when you mentioned your ankle irritation, I thought
of their third product, a skin soother, designed for sunburn, rashes and so
on.  I've never tried it, just remembered it.
