Comparison Trial Between Two Repellent Products and a Positive Control Against Culicoides Nubeculosus Midges

"p-Menthane,3-8-diol (PMD) is a recommended active ingredient, which has been evaluated for safe use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)1. According to the USEPA laboratory exposure of animals to the active ingredient, PMD, this resulted in no adverse effects except eye irritation. The eye irritation potential of the finished product formulation has not been studied; therefore as a precaution, the products will be handled in the same way as the active ingredient. The researcher and participant must wear eye protection during application of the product and the potential for eye irritation is described in the Participant Information Sheet. . Participants will be excluded if they have a known allergy to any of the product ingredients, or any skin condition, which may affect their reaction to the product.~There isn't a relevant intervention type hence why other is specified. It is to deter mosquitoes landing on the skin of a human."

"Icaridin (trade names include Picaridin) is a known mosquito and midge repellent active ingredient. The active ingredient, Picaridin, has been classified as potentially mildly irritating/uncomfortable to the eyes - participants and researcher will wear safety glasses during handling of the products and the participants will be warned about the potential for irritation during the Informed Consent Procedure. Participants will also be excluded if they have a known allergy to any of the product ingredients, or any skin condition which may affect their reaction to the product.~There isn't a relevant intervention type hence why other is specified. It is to deter mosquitoes landing on the skin of a human."
