Mosquito Repellent

Mosquito repellent is becoming an item which most people require, especially when
on holiday or even out fishing or walking where there is a large presence of mosquitoes.
So the big question is, what type of mosquito repellent really
works best?
Types of Mosquito Repellent
DEET insect repellent is probably one of the most well known and common types. A
recent study conducted by reasearchers at the Rockefeller University however found that DEET tends to conceal the
scent from our bodies. Disguising the scent from our breath and sweat from the release of carbon dioxide and
lactic acid our bodies naturally emit. These are also the common odours that attract mosquitoes in the first place.
DEET has been around for years and despite there is some talk of DEET containing some toxins which could be bad for
you, there is no concrete evidence to show. Although DEET should be avoided with children under 2mths
old.
Organic mosquito repellents are commonly used also, as they
contain completely natural ingredients which are both good for you and the environment. Normally consisting of a
mixture of garlic and citronella which discourages the mosquitoes from biting in the first instance. This a
positive approach due to its organic nature but might not completely protect you without repeating application on a
consistent basis.
The garlic in an organic mosquito repellent tends to have a natural
and powerful effect on getting rid of mosquitoes. This is mainly down to the fact that bulb contains an amino
acid which converts when crushed into a sustance called allicin. The garlic also has an essential natural
sulfur which tends to repel lots of insects with mosquitoes being one of them. Farmers and master gardeners
have been using garlic spray successfully for years.

Advantages of a good mosquito repellent
The mosquito patch uses only natural and organic methods of warding the mosquitoes
away. Vitmain B is quite often now recommended as a good choice for the systematic approach to repelling
mosquitoes. Vitamin B or Thiamine is released by the body in a number of ways. Through the urinary tract, sweating
and breathing. After the patch is placed directly on the skin it passes the Thiamine in a high dosage via the
trans-dermal patch into the blood stream. The great thing about the patch is that the Thiamine is exreted through
your 2.6 million sweat glands meaning that you have complete and total body protection. Mosquitoes
hate the scent of Thiamine but the patches provide a human natural free scent.
