Policy & Practices

A new solution

Political

The current commercialized repellents have the main component DEET (N, N’-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide), which its toxicity, when used in excess, is already described in literature (1, 2 and 3). With the purpose to promote prevention and life quality of the population through the political scope , our team members elaborated a draft law based on the “ free condom distribution law” by state organizations, so that the same could also be done with non-toxic repellent. Therefore, our objective is that those repellents without damage compounds begin to be distributed to the population, ensuring the prevention of diseases transmitted by insect vectors without any collateral effects.
