What is the purpose of Cinq-sur-Cinq Famille Anti-Tiger Mosquito Lotion?
To protect yourself from tiger mosquitoes, the first thing to do is to be vigilant about what may serve as a "larval nest". Larvae can be found in any collection of water where mosquitoes can lay their eggs: swamps, tree hollows, old tires... The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends skin repellents, mainly those containing DEET,IR3535 or Icaridine.
Cinq-sur-Cinq Famille Anti-Mosquito Lotion contains IR3535, which effectively repels tiger mosquitoes, wasps, ticks and horseflies to prevent bites. It is one of the preventive measures against the vectors of malaria, dengue fever and chikungunya.
This anti-tiger mosquito lotion is effective for around 8 hours.
We also offer Cinq-Sur-Cinq Spray Anti Moustiques Tiques Vêtements Tissus 100 ml, at the best price in our online pharmacy.

If your child has been bitten by a mosquito despite all your precautions, we recommend using Cinq-sur-Cinq's soothing after-mosquito-bite patches for children.
In the evening or during the day, to protect yourself from the bites of tiger mosquitoes or other biting insects (ticks, wasps), the use of skin repellents is strongly recommended. In addition, particularly in high-risk areas, clothing can be impregnated with permethrin spray or dip.
For children under walking age, the use of mosquito nets, preferably impregnated on cradles and strollers, remains the most effective method of preventing the bites of these small flying insects.

Learn more about the different biting insects in the mosquito family
The Culex mosquito
Culex mosquitoes are the predominant mosquitoes in mainland France. There are many species, including the Culex pipiens or common mosquito with which we are all familiar.
Most Culex subspecies prefer to bite birds rather than humans or other mammals. They are therefore often considered less dangerous than Anopheles or Aedes mosquitoes. They can, however, spread serious diseases such as West Nile fever and Japanese encephalitis.
The Tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus)
There are some 260 species of Aedes mosquitoes on the planet. The Aedes mosquito takes its name from the ancient Greek, meaning "unpleasant", which is justified by the very strong nuisance caused by this highly aggressive, painfully biting type of mosquito.
The Anopheles mosquito
Of the 3,500 species of mosquito in existence, some 430 belong to the Anopheles genus. The dreaded Anopheles mosquito is capable of transmitting malaria.
Sandflies
Sandflies are very small insects that resemble small midges. They can transmit serious diseases.
