The increasing dengue cases in the country is very alarming.  I bought several large insect repellent lotion. Last year, the same brand of insect repellent lotion went out of stock for a few weeks due to the high demand. I don’t want to take chances this year so I bought several bottles to keep at home. Hubby said I’m already hoarding. ha!ha!  I also bought a few boxes of anti-mosquito patches and bracelets.  The stickers and foam bracelets have a natural citronella smell the repels insects particularly mosquitoes.  I prefer the foam bracelets because the stickers sometimes quickly loses its adhesive.  The foam bracelets can last for 300 hours and may be kept in the zip container it came from to preserve the scent longer.
