Common Insect-Borne Diseases
Mosquito bites can lead to:
Ticks can cause:
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend the use of insect repellents to prevent mosquito-borne diseases. Insect repellents are also useful to prevent bites, skin eruptions and rashes that may be caused by an insect’s bite. Mosquito bites can cause severe skin irritation through an allergic reaction to the mosquito’s saliva.
The application of repellents to fight off mosquitos is one of their most common uses. In the 20th century, malaria was eliminated in the temperate area of the world with the use of DDT and other organophosphate insecticides. Later we found out just how much damage was done to the environment with these toxins.
However, still today, roughly half of the world’s population in tropical or subtropical regions may be exposed to malaria through mosquito bites. Up to 500 million cases of malaria occur every year, 90% of them in Africa, with over one million deaths annually. Deaths due to malaria occur mostly in children under 5 years of age in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Insects and arachnids that bite in self-defense instead of to feed — such as yellow jackets, bees, wasps, hornets, certain ants or spiders — cannot be repelled with insect repellents.
How Do Insect Repellents Work?
Humans attract mosquitoes and other blood feeding insects by their breath and skin odors. The insect is attracted to the carbon dioxide in a human’s breath. Our Bug Off’s formula with 14 EOs block the little bloodsuckers receptors.
