Protect Yourself From Bites And Diseases By Using A Mosquito Repellent Patch

By Elena McDowell


Mosquito repellent patch use makes it easy for anyone to avoid nasty bites and diseases transmitted by those flying insects. Applying it is as easy as placing a sticker-like product on your skin. Containing a variety of ingredients, this innovative way of keeping away those pests is being preferred by many compared to a sprayed counterpart that's not as convenient to use.

This product should be placed on skin that's clean and has little or no hair. Some of the best examples include your upper arm and on the shoulder blade. The adhesive surface should have no problem sticking itself to your skin for as long as protection is required. At times remaining flat against the skin is essential in order to have the ingredients contained reach the bloodstream.

Before you apply the item, make sure that the area is very well prepared for it. It is after a shower or bath that you may place the product on the desired location. Cleaning the surface with a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol may also be done. Carrying out these steps may be skipped if the sticker-like solution you go for is the kind which may be placed on clothes.

Making it very appealing to a lot of consumers is the fact that the product's usage is so convenient. It can be taken with you hassle-free by placing it in a pocket or purse. When the time comes you need some form of protection against mosquitoes, simply peel off the backing and apply. There's no need to rub anything on your skin, sparing you from the messy part.

There are people who may find the effectiveness of the product questionable. They cannot be blamed for such predicament because it can really be surprising that a very small sticker-like solution can be very good at keeping at bay those annoying mosquitoes. However, considering the ingredients used can change the way a doubtful consumer sees this kind of modern-day solution.

Earlier versions of this patch worked with the help of a chemical known as DEET. Although effective, DEET can be very dangerous. According to researches, it can cause a variety of conditions involving the nervous system. It is said that DEET may also affect the reproductive health negatively. The chemical can still be toxic even when used in minimal amount. The fact is so many of those readily available repellent sprays on the market still count on DEET to deliver results.

Worry not about the dangers of DEET as many of the patches these days rely on other ingredients. In fact, lots of them are geared towards kids, allowing them to regard staying away from mosquitoes a fun thing because of the colorful prints that patches sport. These all-natural solutions rely on essential oils like citronella, lemongrass and others.

You may also go for a mosquito repellent patch that administers vitamin B1 or also known as thiamine. Found on the adhesive side, the nutrient is gradually absorbed by the skin and gets to the bloodstream. When expelled via perspiration, those flying bugs won't find your smell particularly attractive.
