Can take effective mosquito repellent chemistry?

Out of habit, many go to supermarkets and pharmacies to purchase the best mosquito repellents advertised. But at the same time, they do not even imagine how unsafe they are for health.

In the world, the most popular insect repellent is diethyl phthalate (DETA), which is also a fixative for odors in perfumes.

Important! DETA is widely used in cosmetology, and, according to Greenpeace data from 2005, it is called the most dangerous tool (substance) of all existing. Namely, this substance is part of many aerosols and other professional drugs for bloodsuckers. This information alone should discourage forever the purchase of various ready-made “pharmacy” mixtures in the future and arouse the desire to find a suitable natural remedy for mosquitoes.

DETA harm:

1. It is strictly forbidden to pregnant women, and even a small amount of phthalates will adversely affect the normal development of the fetus of the child.
2. It is toxic in itself, even in micro amounts, it causes various changes and disorders in the human body.
3. As a result of long and thorough studies, scientists have associated phthalates with an increase in hormonal disorders. They also cause infertility in men and women, polycystic ovary, breast cancer.

We hope these facts are enough so that you no longer poison yourself, but take up the choice of a natural mosquito repellent, especially if you need protection not only for you, but also for your children.
