Dawa ya mdudu isiyo na DEET ni nini?

DEET ni kifupi cha N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide, kiungo hai katika repellents nyingi za wadudu, kulingana na Dk Krupa Playforth, daktari wa watoto na mwanzilishi wa Mama wa Pediatrician. DEET-bure inamaanisha kuwa badala ya kemikali hii, dawa ya mdudu ina kiungo mbadala cha kuweka mende mbali.

"Bidhaa za bure za DEET hutofautiana sana katika viungo vyao, kwa suala la jinsi zilivyo na ufanisi na kwa suala la jinsi wanavyojifunza vizuri (na salama) wanazingatiwa," anasema.
