Save millions of people from mosquito-borne diseases
Worldwide, mosquito-borne diseases kill more people than any other single factor!
This article is about an excellent mosquito repellent invented by me recently. It can also be used to control mosquito breeding.
In 1978 I had to move in to the town from my village, to take up my employment as an engineer. The main problem I had in the town was the mosquito nuisance. I have suffered a lot from these blood sucking insects. Since my retirement in 2005, I have been engaged in various research & development activities for the well-being of people.
I have used a range of products available in the market, to escape from mosquitoes but they were not up to my satisfaction. They were expensive as well as harmful to me. Therefore I determined to invent a better herbal mosquito repellent some day. Hence, my research studies were mainly focused in that line.
Various experiments were carried out with herbal plants, to repel mosquitoes but they were not successful. On the 15th of April 2010 I did one more experiment witha very specialplant. When I applied the product on my feet and cheeks, all mosquitoes biting me up to that movement, disappeared.
It was unbelievable. I assumed it was a mistake. Therefore, I gave its samples to my neighbours to further test it. They also had the same result. Having confirmed that it really repels mosquitoes, I named it as "HMR" (Herbal Mosquito Repellent). Then I gave it to more friends for further field tests. They all confirmed its mosquito repellent property.
Iwish to tell you how to prepare it. But, before that I would like you to know more about mosquitoes. Please read the following facts about them and then visit my website http://hmr1.yolasite.com .
Facts about mosquitoes
1. There are over 2500 types of mosquitoes in the world.
2. Only female mosquitoes bite. They use proteins from a blood meal to produce eggs. Most species can produce several batches of eggs during their lifetime.
3. The average life span of the female mosquito is 3 to 100 days; the male's is 10 to 20 days.
4. Depending on species, female mosquitoes may lay 100 to 300 eggs at a time and may average 1,000 to 3,000 during their lifespan.
5. The larvae are filter feeders of organic particulates.
6. The larval and pupil stages can be found in a variety of aquatic habitats including: discarded containers, tires, temporary woodland pools, tree and crab holes, salt marshes, and irrigation ditches.
7. Most mosquitoes remain within 1 mile of their breeding site. A few species may range up to 20 miles or more.
8. Depending on temperature, mosquitoes can develop from egg to adult within as little as 4-7 days.
9. Presently, the cues used by mosquitoes to find their hosts are poorly understood. Carbon dioxide (CO2), heat and light have been shown to be attractants. Other compounds tested such as lactic acidalso have proved to attract certain species of biting insects.
10. Adults can live for several weeks, feeding on carbohydrate sources such as nectar and fruit juices.
