Description

REPELLENT PATCH OF INSECTS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Technical Field This invention relates in general to an insect repellent patch and more particularly to a transdermal delivery system that delivers insect repellent to a user. 2. Previous Technology The need for an insect repellent is constant, particularly for those who are outdoors, climbing, camping or other recreational or work activity. One of the most common insects that are the target to be stopped by the insect repellent are mosquitoes. Mosquitoes need to be repelled not only because of the discomfort they cause from their bites, but more importantly due to vector-borne disease that can be transmitted from person to person as a result, most notably malaria and West Nile Virus. The conventional insect repellent comes in the form of spray, liquid and cream that is applied to the exposed skin to protect the exposed skin of insects and therefore insect bites. The average protection time varies in length and must be applied again after effectiveness falls. In addition, these conventional methods do not protect areas of the skin that are discovered later, such as when removing the sack. Other conventional insect repellents include patches infused with citronella oil. The essence repels insects and the patch can be applied on clothes, chairs, tents, beach towels, picnic tables, baby strollers, etc. While patches are easily applied and used, they are limited in their effectiveness by relying on essence to protect a person from insect stings. In particular, conventional insect repellents use N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide, commonly referred to as DEET. DEET is absorbed through the skin and passes into the blood. In cases where DEET is applied topically, up to 50% penetrates into human skin, and 17% is absorbed into the bloodstream. Blood concentrations of about 3 milligrams per liter have been reported several hours after the repellent was applied to the skin in a prescribed manner. In addition, DEET is also absorbed by the intestines. The DEET is of particular concern with the central nervous system. The laboratory animals that were exposed to the equivalent of the average human doses of DEET performed poorly in neuro-behavioral tasks requiring muscle coordination unlike the untreated animals. In addition, the combined exposure of DEET and permethrin, another ingredient in mosquito spray, can lead to motor deficits and learning and memory dysfunction. DEET can also have a significantly higher toxicity when combined with ethyl and isopropyl and Freon alcohols, which are components of some DEET repellents. DEET-containing products are required to carry instructions informing the user of the following: 1. It should not be used at all in children under 6 months of age; 2. Children from 6 months to 2 years of age can only use DEET once a day and in amounts less than 10%; and 3. Children ages 2 years to 12 years, can only use concentrations of 10%, and no more than 3 times a day. It is also required that products containing DEET carry labels that specify what should not be done, including: 1. Do not apply on cuts, wounds or irritated skin; Do not apply on hands or near the eyes and mouth of young children; do not let young children apply the product after returning to the interior, wash the skin treated with soap and water; and 3. Do not use under clothing; Do not spray in closed areas. It is also suggested that it is better to apply DEET to clothing to reduce exposure to DEET. In general, DEET is a repellent that causes substantial medical concerns. Correspondingly, what is needed is a long-lasting insect repellent patch and it is sure to be easy to apply as a patch and to protect all the skin, whether exposed or not, to insect bites.
