The list of commercial synthetic products that have been shown to have negative effects on health continues to increase as the research Discovering scientific toxic effects in laboratory. Now joins the long list, insect repellent, highly marketable product and that any of us have used some time in our lives. Recent research suggests that the active substance "deet" has neurotoxic effects, though not in the degree of neurotoxicity and the time it takes or is required to display this damage. As always, the recommendation in this modern life full of synthetic products everywhere, many of which are exposed without realizing it, is that at least avoid using those products if we can choose whether or not we use that is that we must strive to become more responsible consumers worry about the kind and quality of products we consume daily.

Washington. An active ingredient used in insect repellents may cause harmful health effects, scientists suggest in the journal BioMed Central Biology, in its latest issue. Experts of the Research Institute for Development and University Monpellier Angiers, France, said the deet-most common active ingredient in chemicals to ward off mosquitoes, can cause neurotoxic effects.
The experimental results cast doubt on the safety of the active principle to public health, since it was found that blocks the action of an enzyme important in the central nervous system, the toxic effect of chemical acetilcolinesterasa.El may increase when used with other insecticides such as organophosphate and carbamate, the authors of the study Corbel and Bruno Vincent Lapi. "These findings question the safety of deet, particularly in combination with other chemicals, and stress the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the development of safer insect repellents for use in public health," said Corbel.
