Bug Bam has released a range of all natural, DEET free, 100% recyclable repellents that don't require the application of any liquids or harmful chemicals. A portion of online sales benefit The Global Fund to fight Malaria.
The makers of Bug Bam (http://www.bugbam.com/us/site/dangers_of_deet/)). A single wristband is effective up to 4 feet away from the wearer and when placed in the re-sealable package
between use, it can last up to 100 hours. Bug Bam wristbands are also waterproof, sweat-proof and less expensive than the sprays traditionally used. In fact, the Australian inventor,
Joseph Symond (http://www.icmi.com.au/Speaker/Sports_Olympic/Jane_Flemming/Biography) - Australia's 'Golden Girl'
- wore Bug Bam wristbands during a recent trip to the Mosquito infested Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea and claims; "Not only did Bug Bam work, it alleviated some of our main concerns
regarding the insect issue, the prevalence of Malaria and the evening inundation of insects into our one-man tents, BUT we were the envy of all the other trekkers and indeed our trek
leaders who had fought under the trying circumstances of Vietnam."
With the Harvard School of Public Medicine reporting that up to 50% of the US population is avoiding the use of DEET based products, Bug Bam is a timely, appealing and effective
alternative.
