When an insect bites, it will release saliva that can cause the skin around your bite to become red, swollen and itchy.Do not use more than once a day, however you should be sure to reapply after any activity which could reduce the effectiveness of Jungle Formula Maximum, such as swimming or bathing. Years ago one of the major chemical companies investigated developing DEET as a herbicide but it was too expensive to manufacture and formulate and efforts to register the active ingredient was discontinued.

Our Kids Slap-it band is a hassle free, fun way to protect your kids from bites so that you can enjoy more of the outside world without compromise.If you partake in any activities such as swimming or bathing, the product should be reapplied as this can decrease its effectiveness. We currently have a warning against the use of Jungle Formula products around materials such as synthetics, fabrics, plastics and lacquered surfaces. Re-apply as necessary, depending on conditions, as high temperature, humidity and other environmental factors can reduce the duration of protection of all insect repellents. Sometimes – whether it’s because you’ve aggravated them, your skin is exposed or you’re just unlucky – an insect can land you with a nasty bite or sting.
