Tropicare has developed the strongest insect repellent on the market: Care Plus® Deet. This product has been registered by the government and meets all requirements for safety and effectiveness.
Deet is an effective
repellent against stinging insects (mosquitoes, midges, horseflies) as well as ticks. It is suitable for both tropical destinations (risk of malaria, dengue, yellow fever) and for European regions. In 1997 and in 2001, Care PLUS Deet was tested the best by the Dutch Consumer Association. The percentage of Deet determines how long the repellent remains effective. Consumers can choose which form of application they prefer.
Care Plus® recommends a Deet percentage of between 30% and 50%. An insect repellent with a Deet percentage of less than 30% is not sufficiently effective and a percentage in excess of 50% has no added value.
Use of products containing Deet on children:
- As a precaution, it is advisable to avoid using concentrations of more than 30% Deet on children under 2 years of age
- Do not rub onto children's hands, to prevent Deet coming into contact with sensory organs (mouth or eyes)
Use of products containing Deet during pregnancy:- Recent research has shown that Deet can be used safely during the last six months of pregnancy
- During the first three months, Deet can be used in concentrations up to 30%. As a precaution, use should be kept to a minimum
TROPICARE TIP:
The malaria mosquito is only active in the evening and at night; the dengue mosquito primarily during the day. So protect yourself continuously!
