Mosquito bites can lead to
serious health issues be it a simple skin rash or some life taking diseases.
The main problem is that they can be found anywhere, within the house or
outdoors, making human beings susceptible to their bites. The breeding places
of these tiny creatures are stagnant waters, beach areas, estuaries or swamps.
Thus mosquito repellent is the best
way to stay protected from these pests.
Many types of repellents are
available in the market, out of which the DEET based ones are the most popular.
DEET is basically a chemical called diethyl toluamide which has proven to be a
very effective pesticide. It can repel mosquitoes, ticks, sand flies or gnats
by their very strong odor. The best thing is that they repel the pests from
human beings without killing them. Now high concentrations of DEET are used in
the repelling lotions or sprays but then studies have found them to be quite
harmful for mankind.
Due to the prolonged usage of the
high concentrated DEET based Mosquito Insect Repellent studies have found that there is less psychological
clearness among most people. They suffer from irritability, mood swings,
insomnia and impaired cognitive system. One of the common side effects of these
chemical based repellents is skin infections on people with very sensitive
skin. Medical expert suggests not using them on children or pregnant women as
they are vulnerable to any kind of side effects. It is always better to read
the instructions before applying them on the body.
Now the market is also flooded with many
naturally manufactured products which not only repels the mosquitoes but also
do not lead to any kind of side effects.
