One of the greatest risks associated with the outdoors is disease. It’s essential to protect yourself and your family from diseases that are transferred to humans through insect bites. Mosquitoes spread more diseases than any other insect or animal. Mosquitoes are known to be carriers of the life threatening diseases West Nile Virus, Malaria and Encephalitis. The risk of contracting a life threatening disease through an insect bite is a terrifying reality, so many consumers reach for heavy-duty bug repellents to protect them. The most common hazardous chemical used in bug repellents is DEET, a toxic pesticide. Every year roughly one-third of Americans use bug repellents containing DEET to ward off mosquitoes and other pests. DEET is found in over 140 products in concentrations from 4 to 100 percent. Recent research and the Center for Disease Control caution against prolonged or repeated exposure to DEET. DEET enters the bloodstream through the skin and can cause side effects ranging from rashes and headaches to impaired memory, muscle weakness and even death. The FDA has warned consumers against mixing DEET with sunblock. Sunblock increases DEET absorption into the blood by a factor of three increasing the risk of stroke, headaches and hypertension. The good news is that a recent study by Consumer Reports has shown that Non-DEET insect repellants that use natural plant essential oils such as Lemongrass, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Cedar and Geranium are just as good at preventing insect bites, but do not carry the inherent risks associated with DEET products. It’s a good thing all of these bug-fighting ingredients are in Badger’s Anti-Bug Balm. So enjoy the outdoors again with Badger USDA Certified Organic Anti-Bug Balm and keep those nasty bugs at bay the natural way!

No bug bites here - 07/17/2009
I bought this product after suffering several painful bug bites. It's so easy to use and doesn't leave you coughing from fumes since it just glides on. I'm happy to say that it held up to a fireworks show at a lake. The bugs were out but I managed to fend them off with my Badger Anti-Bug Balm. I would recommend this product to others as it's organic, safe and effective. |
