ee MOSQUITOES may carry West Nile virus, but finding repellents to keep the away is tricky. Health officials urge care be exercised, especially with children. Repellent tips West Nile mosquitoes may not get here this summer HEALTH AUTHORITIES continue to make informa- tion available about pro- ducts which could ward off West Nile Virus-bearing mosquitoes. But while personal pro- tection measures are being recommended, Mark Kar- jaluota of the Northern Health Authority says the virus may not even appear in the northwest this sum- mer. : “We would be expect- ing it first in the south or east,” said Karjaluoto. “We don’t know when it could make it this far, if it ever does.” The federal Pest Man- agement Regulatory Agency recommends that personal insect repellents such as citronella and oil of lavender not be used on children under 2 years of age. Authorities also say in- sect repellent containers should be kept out of the reach of children and that labels should be read be- fore using. Other tips "M- Apply the repellent sparingly, and only on ex-. posed skin surfaces or on top of clothing. @- Do not apply unde clothing. Heavy applica- tion and saturation are un- necessary for effective- ness. Bi Do not get in eyes. If you do get repellent in your eyes, rinse immedia- tely with water. @ Do not use the repel- lent on open wounds, or if your skin is irritated or sunburned. Non-DEET options are less potent WHILE DEET is regarded as the substance of choice to ward off mosquitoes, there are alternatives. Health Canada affixes a Pest Control Products (PCP) number on the label if the repellant’s effective- ness has been substantia- ted, Health officials also say that some non-DEET re- pellants containing tradi- tional ingredients are ‘ef- fective only for short per- iods of time — generally two hours for mosquitoes, One such approved re- pellant contains lemon eu- calyptus, a ee Northwest Smile Design Center DPA.

Use only in well-venti- lated areas. Do not use near food. M Wash treated skin with soap and water when you return indoors or when protection is no longer needed. @ Avoid applying re- pellent to children’s hands to reduce the chance of getting the repellent in their eyes and mouths. MW If you suspect that you or your child are reac- ting to an insect repellent, stop using the product im- mediately, wash treated skin and seek medical at- tention. When you go to the doctor, take the product container with you. WM If you are concerned that you are sensitive to a product, prior to general use apply the product to a small area of skin on your arm, then wait 24 hours to see if a reaction occurs. M Choose a product that meets your needs, For example, if you plan to be outdoors for a short period _of time, choose a product with a lower concentration of repellent (shorter pro- tection time) and repeat only if you need a longer protection time. Mi. Use only personal in- sect repellents that are re- gistered in Canada. They have a registration number granted under the Pest Control Preducts Act and are labelled as insect repellents for use on hu- mans. Never use a product la- belled as an insecticide on your body. W Some personal insect repellent products contain a sun screen or skin lotion, it is recommended that such combination products be used solely as insect repellents, and be applied according to safe practices listed.
