Ah, summer—with its long evenings and warm weather… and its mosquito bites. Every year, these insects patiently wait for the season to end before emerging from hibernation.
These bloodsuckers are drawn to our exposed skin. In addition to the dangerous viruses they carry (Zika, dengue, chikungunya), they cause itching and inflammation.
That unpleasant sound—that little buzzing in your ear that signals (too late) that you’ve just been bitten by a bloodthirsty mosquito! And just like that! The damage is done—a small red bump has appeared, and the itching will soon take over! To avoid this nuisance, there are several solutions. Check out a selection of mosquito repellents to effectively protect yourself from mosquitoes
Repellents applied to the skin are particularly effective for travel or when outdoors. They help protect areas not covered by clothing.Mosquito repellent sprayscontainingDEET—a chemical active ingredient developed by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1942—provide long-lasting (about 10 hours) and reliable protection. They work by disrupting the mosquitoes’ olfactory receptors, preventing them from detecting the scent of human skin. They can be used in combination with DEET-based fabric treatments for clothing. Chemical repellents can be used on young children and pregnant women at lower concentrations (around 20% to 30%). However, the best approach is still to protect babies from mosquitoes naturally using natural repellents.

When a mosquito bites, it inserts its proboscis into the skin and injects a small amount of saliva containing enzymes and anticoagulants. These substances facilitate blood intake but also trigger an immune response in the host, leading to typical symptoms such as redness, itching, and swelling.
