Safe/Non Toxic chemicals used in insect repelling products

This is the good news. There are safe/non toxic chemicals used in insect repelling products. Bad news is they are not very popular, which is too bad considering the heavy side effects toxic chemicals can cause. Natural oils are used as non-toxic materials in making safe insect repellents. Here are a few natural repellents for mosquitoes:
- Lemon grass oil
- Citronella oil
- Geranium oil
- Neem oil
- Cedar oil
- Eucalyptus oil
- Mint oil
- Pine oil
- Cinnamon oil
- Lavender oil
- Rosemary oil
- Basil oil
- Thyme oil
Usually these oils are injected into various plastic forms and are as effective as DEET based products.
Why Should I Use Safe Chemicals?
Beside the fact that naturally repelling mosquitoes with essential oil based products is completely safe for adults and children too, natural oils exercise on people using them good “side effects”. For example:
- Mint oil helps calming headaches and nausea
- Eucalyptus oil relieves chest pain
- Neem oil is a natural antibiotic, has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties
- Lemon grass oil calms emotions
Safe chemicals do no harm to health, are very easy to use and they are recyclable.
What are the risks of toxic chemicals used for Insect Repellents
The risk of toxic chemicals can vary from skin rashes to serious health issues. DEET can easily absorb in the bloodstream, also causes dermal problems and eye irritations, affects the nervous system; there have been rare reports of seizure and heart rate changes. There are also few medical reports about children suffering brain damage due high DEET concentration usage. Mosquito repellent sunscreens are not recommended either for the same causes.
If you overused DEET based mosquito repellents the most common symptoms which will appear are: dizziness, headache, skin rashes and eye irritation.
