What you need to know about children repellants

Blood-sucking insects are not only carriers of diseases, but can often increase the severity of the disease. Approximately 700,000 people die every year from complications associated with etiological pathogens carried by blood-sucking insects. In addition to the epidemiological danger, mosquitoes create discomfort and can disrupt human activities outdoors and indoors. Personal protective measures consist of using an integrated approach that includes physical and chemical barriers. There are not so many cardinal differences in the methods and means of controlling mosquitoes in adult and children›s preparations. But a number of nuances must be taken into account when choosing them. The safety factor is fundamental. The active ingredients DEET and IR3535 are most commonly used in repellent formulations for children. In addition, to protect babies from mosquitoes, products based on essential oils of plants are used. Repellents are available separately for children and adults. Products for children have a more natural composition and contain a lower concentration of active ingredients than repellents for adults. To protect children, it is preferable to use products with IR3535.
