Growing awareness about dengue has led to increased sales of mosquito repellents. However, experts warn that repellents can cause allergic reactions and skin irritation due to their high toxic levels. Doctors have seen cases of allergic reactions to repellent creams. Children are especially at risk of toxicity if they ingest repellents accidentally. While repellents containing DEET or synthetic pyrethroids are effective, experts recommend using the minimum concentration needed and applying safely to avoid health issues. Maintaining clean surroundings is a better approach for preventing mosquito-borne diseases than heavy reliance on chemicals.

Growing awareness about dengue has led to a dramatic increase in
sales of mosquito repellents. From mosquito repellent creams to coils,
there is a variety of options to choose from. But experts advise caution
in selecting repellents due to their high toxic levels.Allergic reaction
and skin irritation are some of the most common side-effects of
improper usage of repellants.Doctors say the coils emit carcinogenic
fumes.
“Last year, I got a few cases of allergic reaction to cream repellants.
These were severe and the patients had to be medicated for the
symptoms to subside,“ said Dr Charu Goel Sachdeva, senior consultant,
internal medicine, at Rockland Hospital. Children are at maximum risk if
they ingest the chemical accidentally .

“Most mosquito repellants use synthetic pyrethroids, a structural derivative of
naturally occurring pyrethrins (an extract from the flower, chrysanthemum). Some
of them also contain DEET as their active ingredient. They should not be used in
higher concentrations to avoid toxicity or allergic reactions,“ said a senior doctor.
Some studies have also suggested that DEET poison ing can cause neurologica
damage leading to disorienta tion, clumsiness when walk ing and seizures.
According to Dr Kabir Sardana, dermatologist at Lok Nayak Hospital, one should
keep children away from mosquito repel lants. “ Allergic reaction is common in
people who apply the repellant on cuts or wounds,“ he said.
To exploit people's fear about chemical repellants, many companies are also
marketing herbal alternatives.But the experts say these are less effective and their
effect does not last longer.
“The key message should be to use repellants safely .Whether you use it in the
form of spray , cream or vaporizer, one must follow the manual,“ said Dr Sardana.

The Indian market for var ious repellants is in the range of over Rs 600
crore with an annual growth of about 10%.With increasing
environmental degradation leading to the creation of mosquito
breeding grounds, demand is set to increase further, say experts.
“If we keep our surroundings clean, need for medications would be
less. Weekly emptying and drying of all standing water sources, good
drainage, sealing overhead tanks and eliminating standing water in
drains can help much more,“ said a senior corporation official.
