Dengue is at an all time high! It’s so common now that out of 10 people I know, half of them have come down with it.
I remember coming down with dengue in 2014. It was horrible! My platelet count kept going down and I was hospitalized for 10 days. After discharge, I was still so weak. It took me a total of 3 months to get back to my usual stamina.
Besides making sure we have no stagnant water in the house, how can we protect ourselves from getting bitten by these blood-sucking bacteria-ridden insects?
There are plenty of mosquito repellents in the market. And I’m going to share with you the pros and cons of some them.
*If your dog is sleeping in your room, I would suggest to put it on higher ground so that your dog does not keep staring at the light.
*Coverage is limited depending on where you stick the patch.
*Removing the patch can sometimes leave a stain on your clothes.
*Does not come in contact with our dog in any way.
*You can spray all over (of course avoid your eyes & mouth, duh!)
*It’s organic.
*Dogs might give you a sniff (stop them if they do try to lick you)
*It claims to be safe for children and pets.
*However, our preteen says she can hear the high pitch sound and it’s very irritating!
* Dogs can hear sounds four times (4X) further away! What will this do to my dog’s hearing??
