Description
Most commercial mosquito repellents contain chemicals like DEET (N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide), Picaridin, or IR3535. While these chemicals are known to repel mosquitoes effectively, prolonged use can lead to a host of side effects, including:
Skin irritation and allergic reactions
Respiratory issues in sensitive individuals
Neurotoxicity with prolonged or excessive use
Environmental damage, especially to aquatic life
Repeated use, especially on children or individuals with sensitive skin, can be harmful in the long term.
