History
Broad Spectrum Insect Repellent
None color, odor (Purity : over 97%)
Icaridin has been reported to be as effective as DEET without the irritation associated
with DEET. According to the WHO, icaridin “demonstrates excellent repellent
properties comparable to, and often superior to, those of the standard DEET.” In the
United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends using
repellents based on icaridin, DEET, or oil of lemon eucalyptus for effective protection
against mosquitoes that carry the West Nile virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis and
other illnesses.
Unlike DEET, icaridin does not dissolve plastics. Picaridin, first used in Europe in 2001,
has been reported to be effective by Consumer Reports (7% solution) and the
Australian Army (20% solution). Consumer Reports retests in 2006 gave as result that
a 7% solution of picaridin offered little or no protection against Aedes mosquitoes
(vector of dengue fever) and a protection time of about 2.5 hours against Culex
(vector of West Nile virus), while a 15% solution was good for about one hour against
Aedes and 4.8 hours against Culex. Natrapel 8 hour is a 20% based picaridin repellent
that claims to be effective for 8 hours. Generally, Icaridin works very well with all the i
nsects that are trying to find you so that they can bite you and feed off you - mosquit
oes, midges, sand flies, biting flies and fleas, etc. It is said to be more effective against
midges than DEET and it is also effective against ticks, chiggers and leeches, although
it needs to be reapplied more frequently than it does for flying insects to remain effec
tive.
About Ticks(Haemaphysalis longicornis ….)
Haemaphysalis longicornis is a species of tick. Lyme
spirochetes and spotted fever group rickettsiae have been detected in
H. longicornis, as have Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Anaplsma bovis, and
SFTS (Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome) has also been
shown to be transmitted via Haemaphysalis longicornis.
TICKS
(Haemaphysalis longicornis)
SFTS (Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome) is decease generated
by SFTS virus infected tick biting. SFTS virus is a phlebovirus in the family
Bunyaviridae.
SFTS is an emerging infectious disease recently described in northeast and
central China. This virus has been found in the Chinese provinces of Anhui,
Henan, Hubei, Jiangsu, Liaoning, and Shandong. SFTS occurs in rural areas,
from March to November, and a majority of cases are found from April to July.
The virus has caused deaths in China, Korea and Japan.
SFTS has a fatality rate of 12% and as high as 40% in some areas. The major
clinical symptoms of SFTS are fever, vomiting, diarrhea, multiple organ failure,
thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), leukopenia (low white blood cell count)
and elevated liver enzyme levels.
1. Symptom

1. DEET (Diethyltoluamide) The best widely used compound
BUT Unpleasant odor, skin stimulator, affecter to central nerve system
- above 200 million peoples use it worldwide, and more than 38% ones among USA populations still use annually a repellent
product containing DEET
- there are a variety of products such as liquid, lotion, cream, gel, and aerosol goods containing 5~100% of DEET (more than 230
products have been registered to US EPA)
- the higher DEET concentration shows better repellency. In laboratory test, 50% of DEET showed repellent durance for 4 hours
US EPA
-“DEET may cause partly eruption, swelling, itching, and eye stimulation
-“Especially because products containing high concentration of DEET have an side effect to children, EPA prohibits that a
product containing DEET express a word or phrase such as safety to children
Journal of The American Mosquito Control Association (1998)
-“DEET may cause central nervous system depression, urticaria, contact dermatitis,potential encephalopathic toxicity and rarely,
death
- Damage to cetain plastics and synthetic rubber
-“Causing material of Gulf War syndrome due to brain injury”
2. Permethrin
