This is very god and very effective cream . I am using this this since 15years . in middle I have used other company repelents it will effect the mosquitos but by inhaling the smell we get throat infection by inhaling certain repellent smell we get nose irritation and we get allergy in nose. I am using this since along time by applying this it will affect on the mosquitos and for us no irritation will take place in nose or no throat infection will takes place.once if we apply it will react by mosquitoes to us atleast 8hrs . we can also apply to a small children . by this several diseases coming from mosquitoes can be avoided. according to me people who want to get avoided from diseases spreading by diseases please use this cream I assure you that their is no side effects
