How To Repel Mosquitoes Naturally? A Universally Hated Blood-Sucking Species!
Bitter and blinded by these backbiting monsters (and other places too) we often end up keeping them at bay at the expense of our health. What you might not know is that there are better ways that effectively help repel mosquitoes naturally!
A typical demonstration of a bad repellent choice is the household usage of mosquito coils. These coils are left burning indoor all night, whereas their usage is strictly for open and semi-enclosed areas. Burning them releases smoke, metal fumes and particulate matter that causes damage to your lungs.
Fact: The smoke of one mosquito coil causes similar lung damage as 100 cigarettes!
Shocked? There is more…
Another example is the plug-in repellent liquids. These release vapourised chemicals in the air, which are closely related to the increase in breathing problems in infants and elders alike.
Not to forget, mosquito repellent lotions containing DEET- another harmful chemical hotly debated against, when found above 30% in the chemical composition.
Don’t press the panic button yet. It’s not yet a lost cause!
