INSECT REPELLANT!!!

Insect repellents are something which will keep the insects away from your body. Multiple species of flying and crawling insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, flies, midges, chiggers, and fleas, bite people. Although these insects are mostly a nuisance in North America, worldwide they transmit more than 100 bacterial, protozoan, parasitic, and rickettsial diseases to humans. A single bite from an infectious vector is sufficient to transmit disease.

Mosquitoes transmit more diseases to humans than any other biting insect. Mosquitoes are the vectors responsible for transmitting several forms of viral encephalitis, yellow fever, dengue fever, bancroftian filariasis, and epidemic polyarthritis to humans; more than 700,000,000 people are infected yearly. Malaria, which is transmitted by the bite of a mosquito infected with the single-cell protozoan Plasmodium, is responsible for 3,000,000 deaths annually.



Insect repellents can be an effective aid in reducing bites from mosquitos and ticks, which can cause a range of health problems, from itchiness and irritation to potentially serious diseases.Mosquitos can bite at any time during the day, but most species tend to be more active at dawn and dusk. Ticks are often encountered along trail edges, particularly in wooded areas or tall grass. Choose a product that meets your needs. For example, if you plan to be outdoors for a short period of time, choose a product with a lower concentration of repellent, and repeat application only if you need a longer protection time. Use only personal insect repellents that have a Pest Control Product registration number and are labelled as insect repellents for use on humans. Never use a product labelled as an insecticide on your body. DEET is the active ingredient in many insect repellents and bug sprays. Products containing DEET are very safe when used according to the directions. Over the long history of DEET use, very few confirmed incidents of toxic reactions to DEET have occurred when the product is used properly. Picaridin, also known as KBR 3023, and oil of lemon eucalyptus, or p-menthane 3,8-diol, are other EPA-registered insect repellent chemicals. Both are now available in a number of bug sprays and lotions.
