2. Conventional mosquito repellent, whether it's in spray, liquid, cream, stick or pre-moistened towelette form usually contains an active ingredient called N-N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has received reports on side effects or adverse reactions such as headache, nausea, seizures and fainting after the use of DEET on skin.
3. Self proclaimed natural mosquito repellents are not effective. They contain Citronella, a natural extract from lemon scented grass.

You need to constantly reapply!
