Alternatives to DEET

By: Karen Megel (View Profile)

It is a fact that every 30 seconds a child under the age of 5 dies from Malaria in Africa. That is the World Trade Center tragedy every day, only filled with babies! I have been gifted with a lot of knowledge about organic products and know that nature is always a first choice. Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you are interested in all natural repellents or want more information, please, feel free to contact me. I am always excited to talk about such an important subject.

This is great to hear! When I left for my two-year stint in Asia, I had picked up some DEET at REI, but never used it because it burned my feet. My body just knew that this stuff wasn't good for me. I ended up buying local stuff in Indonesia, which seemed to work and just always wore long pants and shirts when I traveled in malaria zones. I would recommend contacting REI or Whole Foods or any store/company that prides itself on being better for the body and the environment. Good luck!
