Our advice and expert opinions from the pharmacy
To help prevent bites from certain insects (such asmosquitoes), the essential oils ofcitronellaandrose geraniumhave effective repellent properties.
Spearmintessential oil is a must-have in your first-aid kit in case ofinsector jellyfishstings. Apply 2 drops directly to the affected areas as soon as possible after the bite, repeating the application every 5 minutes for ½ hour.
In the case ofa tick bite, under no circumstances should you apply essential oil or ether to the tick, as this will cause it to reflexively inject its saliva. Instead, remove the tick as quickly as possible using a tick remover. Then apply one drop of a suitable essential oil blend.
