The tropical climate, rapid climate change, and increased rainfall in November – December have resulted in populations of Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus increased, where the Indonesian mosquitoes themselves were dominated by Ae. aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus so there is a need for self-protection by one of them using mosquito repellent products.

DEET prevent mosquito bites but are prone to irritation

DEET or Diethyltoluamide has been shown to be effective and effective in preventing mosquito bites in adults, children and pregnant women. However, this must still follow the instructions for use. DEET itself is a chemical substance that quickly seeps into the skin pores. For those with sensitive (atopic) skin, DEET can irritate and cause skin reactions. Therefore, avoid using DEET on skin with open wounds.

DEET, Needs To Be Regulated To Be Safe

The DEET content recommended by The American Academy of Pediatrics for insect repellent products is around 10% -30%. Meanwhile, the American CDC states that topical DEET products are available in 4 – 100% preparations. However, this level can be said to be safe for mature skin. Meanwhile, for infants and children, there are several rules for use that need attention. The DEET level determines the duration of the mosquito’s protective/repellent effect.
