Synthetic vs natural insect repellents<\/span><\/h2>\n

Commercial insect repellents contain diethyltoluamide (DEET) which is highly effective at repelling the mosquitoes from attacking you. However, high concentrations of DEET left on your skin for long periods of time can be damaging. You can be at risk of experiencing rashes, irritation or redness if left on your skin for too long. So, why not create your own homemade natural mosquito repellent to defend yourself against dengue fever in Singapore!<\/span><\/p>\n
