Here is what my HMO sent,
DEET is short for N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide
Med note:
Motor vehicle accidents are the greatestest risk of all.
In DR malaria risk = none in resorts, some in rural areas especially near Haiti. Avoid mosquito bites, and fresh water, and walking barefoot.
Places in US to get these are www.travmed.com
or stores like; Sports Chalet, REI, A-16
for exposed skin, Deet 15-40%, not 100%
Sawyer [timed release 20% - especially for kids]
Ultrathon by 3M
for everything else, Permethrin.
Room spray by Raid House and Garden
my note: also try water in a white dinner plate and add a couple drops of 'Lemon Fresh Joy' dish detergent. Set the dish on your porch, patio, or other outdoor area. Mosquitoes flock to it, and drop dead shortly after about 10 feet of the plate.
for Clothing;
Permanone repel spray
Coulson's Duranon tick spray
Admittedly, I'm bringing Pyrethrin, horse fly spray, same active ingredient. But that's me. :-} K
