anti malaria patches

wafc · May 31st, 2007, 02:20

Hi, has anyone out there come across a new anti malaria patch know as natural patches. I hear you can buy them at most chemists in the uk.

I hear wearing garlic cloves in a necklace does that and also wards off vampires. Seriously, can you see anything like that working and not being page numero uno big time news? There's always something out there with a PO Box to catch the hopeful. Use a net and that is very natural and actually does work.They can't even make a decent anti-smoking patch so...

Is the patch suppose to buzz the little mosquitos away?

What are the 'natural' ways of deterring those bugs? Nets, cool temperatures, and white clothes. Anything else? Maybe the pictures, sounds and smells of their natural enemies. Like a frog tape running all night

Just an idea

But then again, maybe the neighbors would do what the mosquitos aren't capable of doing

This site is selling an anti-mosquito patch. It seems, at a glance, to make some rather dubious claims, especially about what might be bad about other products.

But anti mosquito is not antimalarial. An anti-malarial patch would have to deliver an antimalarial drug through the skin into the blood stream. And, one might well ask, what would be the point? Why not just swallow the tablet? There is some suggestion here that it would, in fact, be a good idea.

I just did a quick google. Others may come up with more relevant information. If they OP could identify the product they have heard about that would be useful.
