Ward off Mosquitos Naturally with Moringa-O² Herbal Insect Repellent Lotion

August 26, 2019 0 Comments
With the rise of dengue cases in our country, a lot of parents are worried especially for our little ones. Most mosquito repellent products are sold out in the market, maybe because a lot of parents bought some to protect their kids and family.

I am just lucky my sister-in-law found this in one of the Malls here in Davao. It's the only one left on the rack at that time, so she immediately buys it.

I personally haven't tried the Moringa-O² Herbal Insect Repellent but based on my Sister-in-law's review, it was great and effective in warding off mosquitoes. And I agree with her when we tested the lotion, so far we haven't been bitten by mosquitos after using it, and it leaves our skin moisturized. The fact that it is Deet-free, paraben-free, and made from natural ingredients makes me happy, so I feel assured and confident to use it on my daughter and my family.

Protecting My Family From Dengue-Causing Mosquitoes

August 10, 2016 0 Comments
It's the rainy season once again and there are so many cases of dengue in today's news and most of them are children. As a parent, I can't help myself from worrying about this. I want to protect my family from these Dengue-Causing mosquitoes.


First, What is Dengue?   
Dengue is a debilitating viral disease of the tropics, transmitted by mosquitoes, and causing sudden fever and acute pains in the joints. [Source: www.google.com]

 

What causes Dengue fever?

The bite of an Aedes aegypti (yellow fever) mosquito, infected with any one of the four dengue viruses. When a mosquito bites a person infected with a dengue virus, the virus enters the mosquito. When the infected mosquito then bites another person, the virus enters that person's bloodstream.


What are the signs and symptoms?
  • Sudden onset of high fever which may last from 2 to 7 days.
  • Joint and muscle pain and pain behind the eyes
  • Weakness
  • Skin rashes
  • Nose-bleeding when the fever starts to subside
  • Abdominal pain
  • Vomiting of coffee-colored matter
  • Dark-colored stools
  • Difficulty of breathing

Treatment: 
  • Do not give aspirin for fever.
  • Give a sufficient amount of water or re-hydrate a dengue suspect.
  • If fever or symptoms persist for 2 or more days, bring the patient to the nearest hospital.

Are there any ways to prevent and control dengue?

Here's a very helpful piece of advice from the Department of Health (www.doh.gov.ph). Follow the 4S against Dengue.

Dhe 4S against Dengue

I hope everyone will participate in this fight against dengue...

As for our family, here's what we have tried to prevent from being bitten by mosquitoes. We use a spray (sometimes we use Baygon and sometimes Mortein), we've also tried mosquito repellent lotions from Off !, and Green Cross but it only lasts for 8 hours maximum.


So, we opted for the mosquito repellent patch like Moskishield Mosquito Repellent Patch which is Deet-free and lasts up to 24 hours and aside from that we also use the natural mosquito repellent which is also Deet-free, the Human Nature Bug Shield Mosquito Repellent Oil.

So far, those are the products that we have used and been using and I am quite satisfied with them. I hope that these Dengue-Causing Mosquitoes will be gone soon.
