Intervention: Ultra 30 Insect Repellent Lotion (30% Lipo DEET)
Description: One application of Lipo DEET protects for up to 12 hours and has a pleasant odour and non-greasy feel on the skin. DEET is a broad spectrum insect repellent and was selected this study because it has been extensively tested for safety and toxicity for human use and its efficacy against a broad variety of arthropod vectors. DEET was first registered in 1957 and has been conclusively proven to be safe for use on adults, children, pregnant and lactating mothers.~This Liposome-based repellent is the newest advancement in insect repellent technology. The Liposome envelops the active ingredient, DEET, and slowly time-releases it as needed, thereby extending the effectiveness of the repellent and reducing dermal absorption.
