Thankfully most of Thailand is low to no risk of malaria but dengue is prevalent and it’s a dangerous disease with no prophylactic or vaccine.
The nhs recommends Deet and of course for malaria regions, anti malarials tablets such as malarone. Anyone relying on a non licensed Avon product in these areas is being pretty reckless IMHO. But fine for Florida ... fitfortravel.nhs.uk/advi...bite-avoidance |

But the point is being bitten in Florida is an irritant, being bitten in Asia could be life threatening so it is much better to advise people to use Deet in areas with Japanese Encephalitis,Dengue,Malaria etc (as the NHS and any medical site will) rather than hoping that because anecdotally you were lucky with an Avon-product and wristband that everyone will be... that advice is fine for Florida but reckless for some other areas.
Of course, everyone should do their own research and follow the appropriate medical guidelines not trust a well meaning Dibber. |
