Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
The active ingredient odomos natural mosquito cream is citronella and
Aloe Vera. Citronella oil is a 'natural' insect repellent
Citronella oil has little or no toxicity when used as a topical insect repellent,
Citronella however can irritate the skin and cause
dermatitis in some people,
N, N-diethyl-benzamide is the active ingredient of Advanced Odomos repellent cream .N, N-diethyl-benzamide can cause breathing problem if taken orally. you can drink a glass of milk if there is no
vomiting.
N, N-diethyl-benzamide -other names N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide abbreviated DEET has been found to be an
acetylcholinesterase inhibitor in mammals,leading to an excessive accumulation of acetylcholine at the synaptic cleft, causing neuromuscular
paralysis and death by asphyxiation,if taken orally in large amount.It is intended to be applied to the skin or to clothing, and provides protection against mosquitos, In case breathing difficulty persist you need to visit emergency room for observation and if necessary inj Atropine to counter the effect of excessive acetylcholine.
