mozzie spray safe when preg?

[desperatehousewife]

Is it ok to use mosquito spray when pregnant does anyone know?

?

I'd use neem spray instead. Are you going somewhere exotic??

I used MosiGuard, I had asurances from them that it was safe. I think Boots sell it. Most of all do not use DEET (diethyl toulamide(?)). Others should be safe.

thanks for this.
nowhere exotic, just Greece (I say 'just greece'...can't bloody wait!!!)

greece compared to essex ummm it is so exotic in comparison

Sorry, am thinking I spoke out of turn. I know that's the advice I was given years ago, but you should ask the chemist, too.

Boots do an after sun which is blue which doesnt have deet in it so should be safe (we are going to maldives and will be ttc so wont be using deet). I know of another one and when i remember i will post. If you like the smell of vicks it repels aswell.

Avon do a spray which repels called i think woodland.
