Essential oils to repel mosquitoes

Various mosquito repellent products for babies have been launched on the market. Sales staff said that mosquito repellent products that can be used by babies can also be used by adults without any problems. One brand even has its own mosquito repellent counter, which includes mosquito repellent stickers. The product claims that it is "natural plant extract, does not contain DEET and is safe", and says that the mosquito repellent stickers can be attached to collars, cuffs, trouser legs, table legs, bed edges, and baby strollers to repel mosquitoes.

When searching for the words "mosquito repellent patch" on Taobao, 11,300 items appeared. A certain mosquito repellent patch has been the best-selling mosquito repellent patch on Taobao for three consecutive years. It is reported that the mosquito repellent sticker uses natural mosquito repellent

Many supermarkets now sell mosquito repellent rings that are advertised as being made of natural plant essential oils. The principle is similar to that of mosquito repellent patches containing natural plant essential oils, except that the mosquito repellent rings combine natural plant essential oils with environmentally friendly synthetic leather to release mosquito repellent scent, thus forming a mosquito repellent barrier. Many mosquito repellent rings claim that they can not only repel mosquitoes and kill bacteria, but also have therapeutic effects on rheumatism, migraines, etc. This is related to the natural plant essential oils they contain (citronella essential oil, eucalyptus essential oil, etc.).

In fact, the concentration of essential oils extracted from plants is generally not too high, so they are not very harmful to the human body, but their effect in repelling mosquitoes is limited. Another point that must be noted is that if the mosquito repellent product is really made from natural plant essential oils, the price will definitely not be too low. Therefore, if consumers see mosquito repellent products that are very low in price and claim to be made from pure natural plant essential oils, they must choose with caution. Some industry insiders pointed out that the reason why some mosquito repellent rings have a mosquito repellent effect may be that they contain DEET. DEET is a chemical substance that forms a vapor barrier around the skin by volatilization. If it comes into direct contact with the skin, it is harmful to the human body and may cause allergies or even poisoning.
