Mosquitoes are regarded as a menace as they bite causing
irritations. This small insect feeds on our blood which helps their eggs to
develop. Their bite is very dangerous as they not only cause skin irritation
but also transmits certain dangerous parasites causing dengue, malaria, yellow
fever etc. Though studies could not get proper answer to how these pesky
insects hunt their prey, it is believed that they get attracted to their prey
by their body smell and temperature.
So taking precautions from mosquito bite is very necessary.
Many mosquito repellents are available in the market mostly containing a
chemical called DEET. Though these repellents are very effective in warding off
mosquitoes they are very harmful. They often causes skin irritations and in the
worst cases neurological diseases. Some reports say they can cause insomnia as
well as improper function of the cognitive system. Thus it should not be used on pregnant women
and children and used very carefully.
Due the harmful effects of DEET based repellents people now
prefer to use the Natural Mosquito Repellent.
These repellents are made from natural oils like citronella, clove, eucalyptus,
rosemary etc. They are known to be as effective as the chemical based repellents
as well as skin friendly, so can easily be applied on children and pregnant
women.
Thus a natural repellent is much better than the
chemical ones which wards of the pesky mosquitoes and do not cause any harm on
the skin or the neurological system.
