The Science
So how does it discourage those pesky mossies from attacking? Interwoven into the fabric is a permanent insect-repellent treatment, which should protect you from the tiny gnashes of hungry insects. The technology called Nosilife is non-irritant and non-toxic to humans and animals – it is of course toxic to insects hence why they stay away. It is proven to reduce bug bites by up to 90 %. However, If you are going on a trip to areas where malaria is known to be an issue it’s still a good idea to get those malaria tablets and any other immunisations that maybe needed.
