Traditional Bug Sprays and Chlorine: A Dangerous Combination

How Chemical Reactions between Traditional Bug Sprays and Chlorine can Harm You

When summer hits, many people flock to the swimming pool to cool off and enjoy the weather. However, if you’re wearing traditional bug spray containing harsh chemicals like DEET or picaridin, you may want to think twice before jumping in. These chemicals can react negatively with chlorine and cause harm to you and those around you. This is where Minus Bite natural bug spray comes in. Let’s take a closer look at why traditional bug sprays and chlorine are a dangerous mix and how using natural bug spray like Minus Bite can keep you safe.

       Chlorine is a common disinfectant used to treat swimming pools and other water sources. When traditional bug spray containing DEET or picaridin comes into contact with chlorine, a chemical reaction occurs. This reaction can produce toxic byproducts such as chloramines and other harmful chemicals. Exposure to these chemicals can cause skin irritation, respiratory problems, and even damage to the nervous system. In extreme cases, this reaction can lead to hospitalization or even death.

       Fortunately, there is a safer alternative. Minus Bite natural bug spray is crafted with food-grade ingredients, making it a non-toxic option for the entire family. Unlike traditional bug sprays, it contains no harsh chemicals like DEET or picaridin. Instead, Minus Bite uses a blend of essential oils like citronella, clove, peppermint, cedarwood, and lemongrass to repel insects. These oils are natural, safe, and effective.

       Minus Bite natural bug spray is FIFRA-exempt, which means it contains only ingredients that are deemed safe by the EPA. It’s also made by a biochemist with over 20 years of product formulation experience, who is also a doggie dad and father of two. This combination of expertise and personal experience has resulted in a safe and effective bug spray that is gentle enough for the whole family.

       Traditional bug sprays containing DEET or picaridin can react negatively with chlorine, producing harmful chemicals that can harm you and those around you. The best way to protect yourself is to switch to a natural bug spray like Minus Bite. Not only is it effective at repelling insects, but it’s also safe for you and the environment. So, before you head to the pool this summer, make sure to pack Minus Bite natural bug spray in your bag.
