Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 alon, this is a true statement for africa but in areas like southeast asia the climate and geography make control of mosquitos that carry malaria just as feasible with the use of natural predators of mosquitos. By the way, fertility in african men over the last 25 years has been significantly reduced by the use of pesticides. someone will ask for sources i suppose. >>>>Don t take me wrong, i am not advocating the use of any toxic chemicals in the US or anywhere else. The program i heard in NPR was about DDT and the claim that it is far less toxic than previously thought and that in africa it would save many millions every year. The representatives from african countries (i think they were testifying in the UN on this) were making the point that we are so " self centered " in the " west " that we care less about millions of deaths than what they claim is " safe " use of DDT. From the reading i have done (which is quite limited) one can find much conflicting information on different chemicals and in what levels they are documentedly harmful to humans. That is all i was saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 As far as prevention goes... I read an article a while back stating that Catnip Oil is as effective as DEET when it comes to repelling mosquitos. Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hi Z and all: thanks for the lead! Here's the (?) article: Parasitol Res. 2006 Sep;99(4):478-90. Epub 2006 Apr 27. Repellency effect of forty-one essential oils against Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex mosquitoes. Amer A, Mehlhorn H. Omar Almukhtar University, P.O. Box 919, Elbieda, Libya. a_m_amer Since ancient times, plant products were used in various aspects. However, their use against pests decreased when chemical products became developed. Recently, concerns increased with respect to public health and environmental security requiring detection of natural products that may be used against insect pests. In this study, 41 plant extracts and 11 oil mixtures were evaluated against the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus), the malaria vector, Anopheles stephensi (Liston), and the filariasis and encephalitis vector, Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) (Diptera: Culicidae) using the skin of human volunteers to find out the protection time and repellency. The five most effective oils were those of Litsea (Litsea cubeba), Cajeput (Melaleuca leucadendron), Niaouli (Melaleuca quinquenervia), Violet (Viola odorata), and Catnip (Nepeta cataria), which induced a protection time of 8 h at the maximum and a 100% repellency against all three species. This effect needs, however, a peculiar formulation to fix them on the human skin. ________________________________ Hugo Ramiro http://middlemedicine.wordpress..com http://www.chinesemedicaltherapies.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The use of catnip essential oil is not well-known [if at all ] here in Australia; none of my suppliers carry it - it may be just the thing I've been searching for, to make a reliable, low-toxicity insect repellent. I'm also a clinical aromatherapist - some things worth knowing about the essential oils studied above, and getting them into a workable, safe, effective, product: Litsea contains chemicals known to be sensitisers or irritants on some people, and is possibly also phototoxic, but it has a nice lemony smell. Violet costs a bomb, as it's a highly prized perfume ingredient. It's use as an insect repellent sounds like glorious luxury... just call me Cleopatra But seriously... The study noted a 'peculiar formulation' is needed to fix them on the skin. This is the key to success - the study was of volunteers - probably in a cool lab setting - not folk exerting themselves in steamy, hot environments. For anyone wanting to use these essential oils instead of a DEET product, be sure you have your mix of essential oils in a cream or balm with some natural plant waxes... not so easily sweated off... gels, sprays or water-based lotions aren't good fixatives. Several applications a day will be necessary, just to maintain high levels of active constituents. Be mindful that on skin exposed to sunlight, some of the lemony smelling eoils are potentially phototoxic... litsea, lemongrass, citronella etc... they often pop up in natural insect repellents. See this company, with this handy page, and a ready-made product, which contains catnip. http://www.wingedseed.com/Information/natural_protection_from_mosquito.htm watch out for the cougars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Dear Jessica, A Loving Atma Namaste! Your question is in two parts. First we will respond to Part One re: Malaria. This answer already exists in our online archive. The Protocol Number is listed below if you wish to research it for yourself. The second answer will be in a separate mail. With Loving Blessings, The PHQandA Team Malaria: Medical Background Protocol: 2851 Malaria is a serious, sometimes fatal, disease caused by a parasite. There are four kinds of malaria that can infect humans: Plasmodium falciparum (plaz-MO-dee-um fal-SIP-a-rum), P. vivax (VI-vacks), P. ovale (o-VOL-ley), and P. malariae (ma-LER-ee-aa). Malaria occurs in over 100 countries and territories. More than 40% of the people in the world are at risk. Large areas of Central and South America, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania are considered malaria-risk areas (an area of the world that has malaria). The World Health Organization estimates that yearly 300-500 million cases of malaria occur and more than 1 million people die of malaria. About 1,200 cases of malaria are diagnosed in the United States each year. Most cases in the United States are in immigrants and travelers returning from malaria-risk areas, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian subcontinent. Humans get malaria from the bite of a malaria-infected mosquito. When a mosquito bites an infected person, it ingests microscopic malaria parasites found in the person " s blood. The malaria parasite must grow in the mosquito for a week or more before infection can be passed to another person. If, after a week, the mosquito then bites another person, the parasites go from the mosquito's mouth into the person's blood. The parasites then travel to the person's liver, enter the liver's cells, grow and multiply. During this time when the parasites are in the liver, the person has not yet felt sick. The parasites leave the liver and enter red blood cells; this may take as little as 8 days or as many as several months. Once inside the red blood cells, the parasites grow and multiply. The red blood cells burst, freeing the parasites to attack other red blood cells. Toxins from the parasite are also released into the blood, making the person feel sick. If a mosquito bites this person while the parasites are in his or her blood, it will ingest the tiny parasites. After a week or more, the mosquito can infect another person. Each year in the United States, a few cases of malaria result from blood transfusions, are passed from mother to fetus during pregnancy, or are transmitted by locally infected mosquitoes. Symptoms of malaria include fever and flu-like illness, including shaking chills, headache, muscle aches, and tiredness. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may also occur. Malaria may cause anemia and jaundice (yellow coloring of the skin and eyes) because of the loss of red blood cells. Infection with one type of malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, if not promptly treated, may cause kidney failure, seizures, mental confusion, coma, and death. For most people, symptoms begin 10 days to 4 weeks after infection, although a person may feel ill as early as 8 days or up to 1 year later. Two kinds of malaria, P. vivax and P. ovale, can relapse; some parasites can rest in the liver for several months up to 4 years after a person is bitten by an infected mosquito . When these parasites come out of hibernation and begin invading red blood cells, the person will become sick. Persons living in, and travelers to, any area of the world where malaria is transmitted may become infected. Precautions: -Visit your health care provider 4-6 weeks before foreign travel for any necessary vaccinations and a prescription for an antimalarial drug. -Take your antimalarial drug exactly on schedule without missing doses. -Prevent mosquito and other insect bites. Use DEET insect repellent on exposed skin and flying insect spray in the room where you sleep. -Wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts, especially from dusk to dawn. This is the time when mosquitoes that spread malaria bite. -Sleep under a mosquito bednet that has been dipped in permethrin insecticide if you are not living in screened or air-conditioned housing.
