But, aside from the general misery of itchy bites when closer to home, scientists say climate change is also starting to bring mosquito-borne diseases like dengue to shorter-haul holiday destinations , such as some parts of the Mediterranean.

These items are typically made from material pre-treated with insecticides such as permethrin. Many wearable mosquito-repellant products do not contain DEET, because it is generally not safe to wear highly concentrated DEET directly on your skin for a long period of time.

The EPA keeps a handy list of compounds that effectively fight off disease-harboring pests, and tells you which pests each repellent keeps away. These repellents have a relatively low environmental toxicity and are safe for humans in accepted doses.There are four active ingredients that are scientifically proven to repel mosquitos and three of these are synthetic, or chemical based: DEET, IR3535 and Icaridin.

When planning a weekend out in the wild with your family, you cannot rely only on your ability to withstand natural disasters. Everyone should be taken care of.

Eucalyptus', 'lemongrass', 'citronella' and even 'lemon eucalyptus oil' are not the same as 'oil of lemon eucalyptus', and they don't offer the same level of protection against bugs. You might also see it by the trade names Citrapel and Citrodiol.It’s a hassle applying topical repellents, especially to children.

Most bracelets are designed to offer protection for several hours, typically between 24 to 72 hours. However, some brands claim their bracelets can provide protection for up to 10 or 15 days.

Steer clear of any chemical-based repellent, as these will ultimately do more harm than good.As for these bracelets, they are probably the best versatile offer around. The manufacturer uses three repellent oils – geraniols, lemongrass, and citronella. All of these are natural; it doesn’t make them child safe by default, still it’s safer than artificial chemicals. Artificial is the bracelet itself, but it’s hypoallergenic and not supposed to irritate the skin. Even the allergic users mostly have nothing to complain about, though there are always exceptions.
