incognito Mosquito Repellent Features on BBC’s Rip Off Britain
Award-winning mosquito repellent, incognito, was featured on BBC One’s Rip Off Britain this week. The holiday special screened on Monday 23rd January 2017 discussed the dangers of contracting Chikungunya whilst abroad and what you can do to help prevent getting bitten by the mosquitoes that transmit the disease.
Rip Off Britain filmed a scientific experiment conducted by Dr James Logan, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who tested a range of repellents commonly found on the market as well as home remedies. He first showed a control for the experiment by placing his arm in a cage of mosquitoes. He was bitten 22 times. The home remedies actually made him slightly more attractive to mosquitoes with James receiving 31 bites. But when PMD and then DEET were used, no mosquitoes landed on his arm and he received no bites at all.
Presenter Julia Somerville commented, “With DEET and PMD having such dramatic mosquito repelling success, its clear what you should pack if you’re going to a place where you risk being bitten.”
The programme also showed various pack shots of repellents including the PMD-based incognito Insect Repellent. This is the second time that incognito has been featured on Rip-Off Britain – it last appeared in a programme that aired on 4th January 2016.
Both the incognito spray and roll-on provide total protection against mosquitoes and good protection against other biting insects, protecting more effectively than DEET for the first 4 hours, yet are completely natural.
They are clinically tested to be 100% effective against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that carry Zika, Dengue and Chikungunya. They have also been tested to be 100% effective against anopheles gambiae mosquitoes, the transmitters of malaria. Because of recent research their active ingredient (PMD) is recommended by Public Health England and NaTHNaC. They were recently tested by one of the world’s top research facilities who found that it provided 4 hours complete protection time against mosquitoes.
incognito® spray and roll-on have an RRP of £10 and £8 respectively and are available from wholesalers to the health food, pharmacy and retail trades; for more information contact www.lessmosquito.com.
