DS wishes to protect her children from West Nile infection and requests information from the pharmacist regarding insect repellents. Which of the following is correct information from the pharmacist?
Correct Answer:
Products containing oil of citronella have a very short duration of effect.
Explanation:
Option D is correct because products containing oil of citronella have a very short duration of effect. Oil of citronella only provides protection for about 20 minutes or less, making it an ineffective repellent for children. Option A is incorrect because sunscreen should always be applied before DEET to ensure both products can work effectively. Option B is incorrect because DEET is only an effective repellent against mosquitoes, not ticks or stinging insects. Lastly, option C is incorrect because oil of citronella is not recommended for children under 2 months of age, not 6 years.
