Mosquito season is upon us; but for most of us in the Philippines, the matter isn’t even seasonal — it’s year-round. Not only are these pests annoying, but they also bring critical diseases like dengue, malaria, chikungunya, and the Zika virus. So, it’s undeniable that every Filipino household must have the best mosquito repellents to keep themselves safe.
From lotions to oils to the classic katol, there are several types of mosquito repellents available in the Philippines. But time and again, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned us against using unregistered mosquito repellents as they may contain harmful and toxic ingredients that pose a threat to both human and animal health.
So, which mosquito repellents are actually safe to use? The FDA advises Filipinos to search through their website before purchasing a product. In the spirit of keeping ourselves safe, here are some non-hazardous mosquito repellents you can buy online.
