Here's the reality:
Nationwide, there is a total of 14, 837 dengue cases including 89 deaths as of June 2004 according to the Department of Health
In Metro Manila, the dengue cases has increased by 121% in the past three months compared to the same period last year.
In Bacolod, dengue cases has reached 904 with Barangays Taculing and Villamonte having the most number of dengue cases.
Personally, I don't want to part of those statistics nor will I want any of my family members to be one of those numbers. It's scary and it's life threatening.
Dengue, known as breakbone fever is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus which is transmitted by the Aedes mosquito. These mosquitoes typically bite in the early morning of the day or in the early evening. Dengue is one of the common illnesses that anyone can get infected with during the rainy season. That's because mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant waters.
Do you know that a female mosquito can lay 100-200 eggs? That's 100-200 mosquitoes that can potentially transmit the virus and infect you or your family.
The good news is, dengue can be prevented. One way to do that is to use an insect repellant. There are different ones available and I have narrowed down my favorites. One product on my list is Bite Block Insect Repellent and you can read why I love them here.
I've got another good news. Bite Block has sent over goodies for my readers. You know what that means? It's giveaway time!
There will be 4 sets of winners:
One winner from Bacolod and one winner from anywhere in the Philippines will each get 2 (two) 100 ml Bite Block Kids, 1 (one) 100 ml Bite Block Daily and 3 (three) 5 ml Bite Block Daily.
One winner from Bacolod and one winner from anywhere in the Philippines will each get 2 (two) 100 ml Bite Block Daily, 1 (one) 100 ml Bite Block Kids and 3 (three) 5 ml Bite Block Daily.
The winners from Bacolod should be willing to meet up with me at the District Northpoint Ayala.

Sa ngayon po ang ginagamit ko lang pong panangga sa mga lamok ay ang paglalagay ng mosquito net sa gabi. Gusto ko po itry ang Bite Block para magamit ko sa kapag araw, kasi minsan pag umuuwi ako sa bahay ung anak ko may mga kagat na ng lamok.

My little brother-in-law won the Kids and All-Day one. We tried it last night, I noticed my little boy still got mosquito bites so frequent application is needed. But even then, my son woke up with 10 bites from our afternoon nap today. Maybe the mosquitoes are immune to it or didn't care for it at all.
ReplyDeleteHi Mommy Roxi. Thank you for that feedback. I'll make sure that Bite Block gets this. I'm not sure kung bakit kinagat pa din ung baby boy mo though. :( The lotion worked for us naman.
DeleteI prevent my kids from those pesky mosquitoes by cleaning our room always. By using mosquito mat when going to sleep. Using mosquito repellant lotion and lastly, making sure our window screens doesnt have holes.
ReplyDeleteI want to try Bite Block because I want an alternative product to use for my kids. If its more affordable but works the same as leading brand.. then I wouldnt mind changing brands.

ReplyDeleteI want to try Bite Block. I am currently using off lotion to prevent mosquito or insect bites. Para maiwasan ang pagdami ng lamok sa bahay i always clean our house regularly.

I use mosquito repellant to protect my family from mosquito bites. It very alarming these days because of dengue. Dengue is deadly and we should be cautious to clean our surroundings. It is everyone's responsibility. I make it sure that inside our house, I regularly lit a citronella scent candle because even inside, mosquitoes can seep through. We are not sure, but just a precaution. When my family goes out, I splash them mosquito lotion and spray citronella scent mist to double protect us. It's my first time to hear Bite Block and I want to try it's effectivity even if I haven't tried on them yet.

We've been using Off Lotion and it's my first time to hear about Bite Block, and as a mom I am always in search of other alternatives to what we're currently using and I wanna try this who knows this might be more effective than off lotion and I have read your review and I liked it.

As of now I am using the stick on patch mosquito repellant for my son. I want to try Bite Block because I think this is more effective than the stick on patch.

We make sure that our house is always clean and free from stagnant water where mosquitoes may breed. My husband trims the grass and plants in our garden so that mosquitoes won't stay there. We've been using a citronella spray for our home for a couple of months now. For our baby, we use Tiger Balm Mosquito repellent spray. We use mosquito coils only when there's too much mosquitoes. Like most of the Filipino families, we also use mosquito net at night just to be sure that mosquitoes wont bite us while we're fast asleep. I have seen Bite Block in the supermarket just a couple of days ago, but we haven't tried it. I would be glad to try the product.

I want my son to be protected from mosquito that's why I want to try Bite Block because dengue nowadays is very rampant.It's better to prevent than cure that's why I'll be vigilant in protecting my son from this deadly mosquito.

During my rest day I help my wife clean up the house, make sure there's no stagnant water and other things that mosquitoes could breed on, we also apply off lotion to our kids. But we would definitely try out other products as long as our kids could be protected against mosquitoes

ReplyDeleteI make sure that everything is clean on our house. I also remove the stagnant water from the back of the ref, and our windows have screens.
I want to try Bite block because I want to use it for my baby. The other brand that I used for my baby isn't effective at all.

I've been using Bite Block Insect Repellent on mah 2 kids for almost a year. Nakilala ko ang product na 'to last August 2012 lang sa isang event. At sobrang nagustuhan ko na ito. It's very effective talaga. before kasi ibang brand gamit ko, kinakagat pa rin ng lamok ang mga anak ko, ngayon hindi na. I'm confident na kahit saan sila magpunta basta nilagyan ko sila nito ay safe sila... ^_^
