Proof The Bible Is True

The latest public health scare to make headlines is malaria, which the powers that be say is spreading in Florida and Texas by infected mosquitoes. With this news comes increased demand for mosquito remediation protocols, including natural remedies.

There are well-known mosquito repellant chemicals like DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide), allethrin, N,N-diethyl mandelic acid amide, and dimethyl phthalate that are approved by United States regulatory agencies – but are they safe?

Chemical-based mosquito repellants such as these might work, but they are also dangerous. They harm synthetic fabrics and plastics and cause adverse reactions such as allergies, dermatitis, and cardiovascular and neurological damage.

“Using synthetic repellents has disturbed ecosystems, contributed to insecticide resistance, the resurgence of mosquito populations, and has adversely affected other organisms,” one report explains about additional problems caused by these chemicals.

Rather than use chemicals, why not try applying essential oils like citronella, eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, or basil to your skin? These have been scientifically shown to naturally repel mosquitos without the need for DEET or other similar chemicals.
