In Reply to: insect repellent for pregnant me! posted by happyvalley on Monday, 5. March 2007 at 16:57 Bali Time:
Hi, I have just returned from Bali yesterday and am also 5 months pregnant. I researched heaps about what I could use/not use (and also for my toddler) and found 'Scatterbugs' was the only really safe Australian alternative. Problem being, I had to order it over the net from the East and it took 7 days (& was expensive!) Not sure where you are, but u might be able to find some in your state? When I was in Bali, I actually used on the odd occaison (and sparingly) a couple of squirts of hubby's repellent with 'Picaridin' as the ingredient, mainly just for my feet which is where I had the odd bite.
Not sure if this helps, but have fun anyway!
