In summer, children are very susceptible to mosquito bites. Many people choose to use mosquito coils as a means of repelling mosquitoes. But if children are still young, can they also use mosquito coils? There are so many baby mosquito repellent products on the market, how to choose? This article, the editor will take you to learn about it!
What mosquito repellent products are safe and effective for babies?Most of the mosquito repellent products available on the market are chemical mosquito repellent products. How to choose? Mainly look at two aspects: effectiveness and safety. The authoritative organization that has the most in-depth research on mosquito repellent products belongs to the EPA and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The effective mosquito repellent ingredients certified by EPA mainly include DEET, mosquito repellent and lemon eucalyptus.
DEET and mosquito repellent are currently the most widely used chemical mosquito repellent products in the world, which can prevent 99% of mosquito bites within 6-8 hours. The principle is that the drug directly acts on the tactile organs and chemoreceptors of mosquitoes to drive them away.
Many parents, as long as they hear the word "chemistry", subconsciously react to "toxic". Don't even think about it and dare not use it on your baby. This kind of thinking is completely understandable, but in fact, even if it is a chemical product, it is completely unaffected to use it reasonably, even if it is used on a baby.
The American Pediatric Association AAP believes that babies over 2 months old can use mosquito repellent products containing less than 30% DEET. If the child spends one to two hours outside, it is okay to use a product containing about 10%. The higher the content, the longer the effect lasts, not the greater the killing power to mosquitoes. On the market, there are also mosquito repellent products specifically for children. Moms and dads can compare them, mainly depending on the content of mosquito repellent ingredients.
When using baby mosquito repellent products, pay attention to that mosquito repellent products should only be used on exposed skin and clothing, not in contact with eyes and mouth, and should be used sparingly on the ears, and not excessive use. Do not allow children to apply mosquito repellent products on their own. Adults should apply mosquito repellent products to their hands first, and then apply them to children. Avoid applying them to children’s hands or around the eyes, nose and mouth.
Precautions for buying baby mosquito repellent products:1. Focus on the product brand
First of all, large brands generally have relatively strict and high-quality product production lines, and are much stricter in R&D, monitoring and production than small brands or unknown brands. Therefore, quality and safety are also more guaranteed. Secondly, near the summer when mosquitoes are plentiful, many small and medium-sized manufacturers may have operations to reduce product quality indicators in order to accelerate their entry into the market. These products generally have quality problems, and some may even endanger the baby's health for a long time. So big brands are relatively safer. When buying, you must also buy through regular channels.
2. Focus on product qualification
According to the definition of pesticides in the "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Pesticide Management" promulgated and implemented in 1997, the management of mosquito repellent products also belongs to the scope of pesticide management. All products need to obtain the pesticide registration certificate number, pesticide production approval document number and product standard number before they can be marketed, and the packaging must be marked. However, the mosquito repellent bracelet and the mosquito repellent sticker are not in the pesticide registration database, so there is no pesticide registration number and other certifications on the market.
Secondly, when purchasing, be sure to identify the "Pesticide Registration Certificate Number", "Product Standard Number", "Production Approval Number", and "Health Approval Number". And the pesticide content of the regular brand of mosquito repellent products needs to be listed on the logo. The pesticide registration certificate numbers officially registered by the national agricultural department start with PD, PDN, WP, WPN, and temporarily start with LS, WL. The pesticide production approval number of mosquito repellent products generally starts with HNP. If it does not start with these letters, it is probably written by the manufacturer itself, and you need to pay more attention.
