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

By Elena McDowell





Keeping those painful bites and terrifying diseases at bay is easier with the help of a mosquito repellent patch. The application of this product is so trouble-free because it simply involves putting a sticker-like item on your skin. More convenient to use than the sprayed counterpart, it contains a variety of active ingredients that help drive away those pesky bugs.



Ideally, this product is applied on clean and hairless skin. A good place is the upper arm or on the shoulder blade to ensure that the adhesive side remains flat against your skin. This is essential in order to be certain that the product stays in place for as long as it's needed. At times it allows for the proper administration of the active ingredients into the blood.



It's a good idea to use this innovative solution right after taking a shower or bath. You may also use a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol to remove dirt and grime on the skin, allowing the product to stay on for as long as it is needed. Some of today's patches are meant to be placed on clothes, backpack and others worn close to your skin.



It is the convenience provided by this product that makes it highly appealing to many. It may be placed easily on the pocket until such time you are ready to apply it. There is no rubbing on to do, something that can be messy and risky especially if conducted by an unaccompanied child. Once it is in place, you just have to wait for the active ingredients to spring into action.



Some people may doubt the effectiveness of such product. No one can blame them as it can really be quite unbelievable that a very small sticker-like solution can offer protection against bites and diseases spread around by those pesky bugs. However, the secret why this innovation can deliver impressive results it the active ingredients found on the adhesive side.



When first introduced in the market, it relies on a chemical referred to as DEET. There's no denying that this ingredient works. However, it can produce unfavorable side effects most especially when it gets to the bloodstream. Investigations reveal that DEET may negatively affect the reproductive and nervous systems. Even in small concentrations, it can still be toxic. A lot of the sprayed repellents being sold nowadays still rely on DEET in order to safeguard their users from bites.



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.



It's also possible to get your hands on a mosquito repellent patch that contains vitamin B1. Also known as thiamine, this is absorbed by the skin and circulated all over the body through the bloodstream. It is expelled via the sweat, making the smell of your skin unattractive to mosquitoes nearby.
