Safeguard Yourself From Bites And Diseases With 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.

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.

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.

What makes this sticker-like solution highly appealing to many is the convenience it offers. It can stay in the pocket without trouble until such time applying it is required. No rubbing on is necessary which can be messy and unsafe especially if done by an unaccompanied child. After putting this product in place, you simply have to wait for it to spring into action.

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.

In the past, a patch designed to repel mosquitoes contain DEET. Although highly effective, this chemical can be toxic too. Researches have shown that DEET can cause all sorts of issues concerning the nervous system. It's also said to have an impact on the reproductive health. Even when used in regulated amounts, improper use of any DEET-based product can be quite dangerous. The sad truth is a lot of today's repellent sprays available online and offline still rely on this chemical.

Majority of patches on the market these days are now relying on safe ingredients. In fact, many of these solutions are geared towards kids, making them more appealing with the use of eye-catching colors and prints. Some products rely on citronella and other essential oils like lemongrass and peppermint to ensure that those flying insects won't find biting appealing.

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.
