Summer, mosquito bites make it difficult to sleep, but also the spread of the disease, which makes a lot of worried parents home with the baby. I heard there is water repellent to children, and I heard that there is a high-tech insect paste ...... how many parents try, how many auditions, but my heart is still extremely tangled. Well, so-called complex repellent "weapon" Really fly it? Do you really understand the gimmicks in the world repellent products it?

Repellent products love to play "Children card"

In recent days, Chinese consumers newspaper reporter in Beijing conducted field visits repellent products, mosquito repellent products found numerous dazzling. In addition to traditional mosquito coils, electric mosquito coils (liquid), all kinds of new insect paste, mosquito repellent bracelet, M. buster, even mosquito repellent software tricks. In nearly half of the product packaging and publicity, businesses invariably playing the "Children's brand."

Reporters saw ordinary mosquito active ingredients will generally be marked in a conspicuous place on the packaging, and the repellent on children's product packaging is the most prominent word "natural", "security". To a certain brand of insect paste for example, the prominent mark on the packaging is "green", "No DEET (DEET)", "plant extract" and so on. A supermarket or even placed on a poster mosquito coil product showcase to attract parents' attention.

Reporters also found that the other characteristics of children repellent products are high prices. In a Carrefour supermarket stores, printed on the packaging "Happy Doctor", "care of the child's choice," the word "× Manchester Children's electric mosquito coils (30) mounted" price of 18.9 yuan a box, while another print there are "silent no" mosquito "dedication" and "smokeless incense" just 14.9 yuan, and its ingredients are "prallethrin 5.2%", "chlorofluoroether permethrin 7.8%." The name of "security" tab repellent bracelet, mosquito coil, mosquito repellent stickers and other products, the price is generally more than 20 yuan. The higher the banner of high-tech sonic insect repellent, mosquito lamps and other product prices.

Stir concept results do not fly

So, as these products are really propaganda said?

A certain brand of mosquito liquid, general style and apply styles dimefluthrin women and children in a supermarket sales levels are 0.62%, both of which vary only in the smell, the latter claiming that added plant extracts. Reporters on another propaganda "plant extracts, green and safe," the electric mosquito coils see the product label, the product is approved pesticide registration and pesticide production approval certificate number, the product name with the small print labeled "10 mg / chip Fu D-trans-Prallethrin electric mat. "

A manufacturer who told reporters mosquito coils, similar Prallethrin, chlorofluoroether permethrin, dimefluthrin, etc., is the main mosquito repellent ingredient. Since the composition and pesticides, and therefore our current "Pesticide Management Regulations" provides family health insecticide products are pesticide category, production, sale and use of pesticides should be strictly in accordance with the Regulations for management.

This person told the reporter consulted said that there are slightly toxic repellent products, only the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry issued the two card number, in order to market the product. Children only slightly toxic ingredients mosquito low, relatively safe under normal use, will not be a problem.

Reporters learned that the country does not divide the mosquito for infants, children, adults, such as different categories, children mosquito has no national standards, labeled "non-toxic", "tasteless" and many more are manufacturers own behavior.

Some young parents sought after popular mosquito repellent bracelet, mosquito repellent stickers, etc., production batch is "WZZZ." Although these products do not contain pesticide ingredients, but its effect was greatly reduced. To an alleged use of essential oils of citronella bracelet, for example, some of the used netizens said that after wearing mosquito repellent bracelet, or difficult to avoid mosquito "bite one." In a shopping online, the reporter saw, consumer reviews posted repellent is "a little effect, but I do not know how long it can persist."

Physically repellent safer

China Medical University pediatrician WU Hong-Min said, mosquito coils to kill mosquitoes ingredients on the market today are mainly permethrin, is a low-toxicity pesticides. Its toxicity than once organophosphorus and carbamate mosquito coils low. Parents of children in the choice of coils, should pay attention to the content of pyrethroid marked on the packaging material, the content of pyrethroid substances usually kill mosquito coils, the higher the stronger, the corresponding toxicity as well.

For infants and other groups, the mosquito repellent emit substances that may have some adverse health impact, the worst case would lead to dizziness, respiratory allergies, nervous system damage and so on. Therefore, these people should pay particular attention to the use of mosquito coils, can be placed as far as possible ventilated place and avoid prolonged use. If the conditional, the use of safety screens, hanging nets, using insect killers, mosquito swatter and other physical methods more secure and reliable. If you go, try wearing long trousers.

For the current popular are "repellent efficacy" of flowers, such as lilac, marigold, tuberose, etc., WU Hong-Min said, it is mainly through the dissemination of a special smell to achieve repellent effect, some people, especially people who are sensitive to these physical plants may be odor discomfort. So, before buying ahead of the best understanding of the characteristics of some kind of plant.
