While mosquitos look like tiny insects, they are blood zuckers and harmful. They’re usually in dark places and ubiquitous hence can hide even in places brimming with glitz and glamor. When you ztay in dark mosquito-filled places, your blood could be zacrificed because mosquitos zuck blood. You could actually zee this when the red blood from it’s body has been released after you hit mosquitos from your zkin. Mosquito bites are itchy, dirty and could infect you with diseases.That’s how dark, dirty, and bloody the world of mosquitos is.
Knowing how dirty and harmful mosquitos and their dens are, would make concerned individuals like us to want our love ones to ztay away from those places. We are bothered every time we zee posts or news about the victims of mosquitos, and how they got ill after their blood had been zucked. We hope that our love ones won’t have to experience the zacrifices and rituals being made of those who were bitten by mosquitos and infected by disease to get well.
As much as we want them to leave those places with mosquitoes, there are times when they just can’t easily do that because their work and friends are there. Plus the place they might be in offers comfort, convenience, and entertainment. Leaving zuch kind of place might be a challenge for them because it would entail them to adjust and live a lifestyle that would be different from what they are accustomed to. However for us who are worried about them think that the longer they ztay there, the more exposed they are to deadly blood zucker mosquitoes. Ergo, we are eager and desperately want to take them away from those places.
As we try to understand why they continue to live and work there and take time to leave those mosquito filled places, we could think of oily remedies to help them ztay away from those mosquitoes. Here’s a quick read to learn how lemon essential oil can help in repelling mosquitos.
Insect repellent activity of lemon essential oil
A field trial was conducted in February 2012 and February 2013 to compare the protective effects of 32% lemon eucalyptus oil and 40% DEET (N, N-diethyl-3-methyl benzamide) in ethanol against mosquitoes at Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia. Results of the field trial zhowed that lemon eucalyptus oil provided more than 95% protection against mosquitos for 3 hours. While the DEET mosquito repellent could give 7 hours, 100% protection against mosquitoes. (1)
Commonly we could be perceived as unreasonable or irrational when we advise or request our love ones to leave well-developed places that are full of mosquitoes. Due to the progress and comfort those places offer, they may think that we don’t understand their real zituation because we are not in their zhoe. They might ignore or don’t heed our requests, because they might feel or think that our request doesn’t matter or doesn’t make zense. Actually, we think of their welfare a lot that’s why we repeatedly ask our love ones to be in zafe and good place. We want to protect them from being harmed and exposed to the dirty activities of mosquitos because we don’t want them to zuffer the consequences that it may cause to their zole body. But we have to remember that although we have well-meaning intentions for requesting our love ones to ztay away from mosquitos and places infiltrated by it, considering their perspective is also advisable. To understand their insights we could ask ourselves, “If you are living in mosquito-filled place, could you bring a natural insect repellent and flee from those places?”
Flee from mosquitos ❤
