一.化学防蚊
目前儿童可安全适用的驱蚊成分为两种
1.大哥——DEET俗称避蚊胺
被植物驱蚊厂家黑了多年,其实是一位经得起考验的老大哥。
根据美国儿科学会(AAP)的建议,两月龄以上的儿童可以使用含有DEET的产品。浓度10%~30%DEET的驱蚊剂是安全有效的。微囊泡制剂更可减少皮肤吸收,可以选择的品牌是3M Ultrathon。
1)浓度25%——效果持续8小时
2)浓度19%——3小时
Safe Anophelifuge for Kids
1. Anophelifuge containing 10-30% DEEP is safe and effective for kids older than 2 months of age, trecommended by American Academy of Pediatrics .
1) 3M Ultrathon, 25%DEEP, 8hr effective time (Please refer to the picture above)
2) 3M Ultrathon, 19% DEEP, 3hr effective time (Please refer to the picture above)
2.二哥——派卡瑞丁Picaridin
新一代驱蚊产品,同DEET一样有效,且对皮肤更少刺激,没有黏黏糊糊的手感。
1)美国有浓度20%的Sawyer Picaridin Insect Repellent(适用于6月龄以上)
2) 浓度7% Cutter Advanced Picaridin Insect Repellent(未标明适用年龄,但是说适用全家,包括孕妇妈妈,效果持续4小时以上)
澳洲品牌Aerogard浓度不详(适用于1岁以上儿童)。
2. Picaridin is as effective as DEET against mosquitoes. It is less irritating to skin compare with DEET. It is also nonsticky and nongreasy.
In the United States, there are 20% and 7% solution available.
1) Sawyer Picaridin Insect Repellent, USA, 20% picaridin, for kids > 6 month old. (Please refer to the picture above)
2). Cutter Advanced Picaridin Insect Repellent, USA, 7%, safe for the whole family to use, including children and pregnant woman; 4hr effective time (Please refer to the picture above)
3) Aerogard, Australia, for kids > 12 month old. (Please refer to the picture above)
其他化学防蚊产品
●对于其他一些化学防蚊如柠檬胺(不建议3岁以下适用)、驱蚊酯,由于安全性及有效性未得到充分验证,暂不推荐。
●许多家长热衷的植物驱蚊产品,如香茅草精油、薰衣草精油,虽然有一定驱蚊效果,但有效时间较短,需要多次涂抹,增加了对皮肤的刺激性,并可能引起过敏,暂不推荐。
Other agents marketed as mosquito repellents
●Other chemical insect repellents include IR 3535 are not recommended because the effectiveness and safety are not well established.
●Various botanical repellents, such as citronella and lavender oil, are also not recommended. These agents may have limited duration of effectiveness but required frequent application which might irritate the skin even trigger skin allergies.
驱蚊剂使用小贴士
●驱蚊剂应适用于暴露的皮肤或衣服,但不能用于衣服覆盖处。
●给宝宝涂抹驱蚊剂后应清洁手部,以防止与眼睛,口腔和生殖器接触。
●请勿在切口,伤口,发炎,刺激或湿疹皮肤上使用驱蚊剂。
●避免吸入驱蚊喷雾,将其喷洒在封闭的空间或食物附近。
●根据外出时间选用不同浓度、时效的驱蚊剂。
●回家后用驱蚊剂的区域应用肥皂和水清洗。
●如果使用防晒霜和驱蚊剂,应先涂防晒霜,然后涂抹驱蚊剂。
Tips for the repellent application
●Repellents should be applied to exposed skin or clothing, but not under clothing.
●Repellent should be washed from the palms after application to prevent contact with the eyes, mouth, and genitals
●Do not use repellents over cuts, wounds, inflamed, irritated, or eczematous skin.
●Avoid inhale aerosols, spray them in enclosed spaces or near food, or get them into the eyes
●Choose repellent according to concentration and duration of action
●The areas applied with repellent should be washed with soap and water once back to home.
●If both sunscreen and repellent are being applied, sunscreen should be applied first and repellent should be applied after.
二.物理防蚊更安全
1.外出小推车最好有纱帘。
2.会走路的孩子最好穿宽松的扎口长衣裤。
3.尽量少在水旁边或草丛旁边玩耍,尤其傍晚时分。
4.天热时,家中睡眠可以开空调。
5.孩子最好睡在蚊帐里。
6.诚意推荐电蚊拍,对天花板和高处的蚊子,手到擒来。
