Caused Terrible Rashes on my children
My children both have eczema so when choosing a mosquito repellant for a trip to South America, I did a lot of research. All roads lead to this product. My entire family used it (5 people ). Three of us broke out in rashes everywhere the product was sprayed. The absolute worst was my 2 toddlers who skin is depicted below. They look horrible and are terribly itchy. It has been a really hard week watching them suffer and feeling responsible for it. Last night my three year old ( almost 4) said " I really want to go to church but my skin bumps are so big I look ridiculous" :(. I could not have imagined how terrible the results would be using this product. It has spoiled the entire trip for me and I just keep praying to see my children's skin begin to improve. Their pediatrician said come back in a week if they are not better but I think we will see a pediatric dermatologist next week. This has been a nightmare for my family watching the kids up all night itching, crying, missing school and feeling " they look ridiculous." This is only the second time in my life that I have felt so strongly about a product that I have written a review! Be warned!
