Vie Patch: The Natural Insect Repellent that Actually Repels
Insects are a part of this planet just as much as the plant life that thrives upon it. As humans, we accept that such creatures will always be a part of the natural world around us. While we may acknowledge their existence however, that’s not to say we should allow bugs and insects to make our own lives a misery. Without insect repellant, most tropical countries would be unbearable.

In temperate climates, midges and other insects can be a real nuisance. In warmer climates however, insects aren’t just irritating – they’re deadly. Diseases such as Malaria and Yellow Fever, borne along by blood-sucking mosquitoes, have claimed the lives of millions. In the developing world, Malaria is still the fourth-leading cause of death amongst children. While developed countries have had some success in combating such diseases, other scourges such as West Nile Virus have arisen in their place. Diseases aside, even the very thought of being bitten by a blood-sucking creature is not a pleasant one. Insect repellant is not an optional extra to pack when visiting tropical countries – it’s essential.
To DEET or Not to DEET?
Vie Patch is a natural insect repellant whose objective is the same as that of any other brand – to keep mosquitoes and their ilk at bay. The manner in which Vie Patch works however is very different from that of other repellants – which goes a long way towards explaining why this innovative treatment is so effective.
Traditionally, insect repellants fall into the category of DEET, the term used to describe the yellowish oil that constitutes the active ingredient. When applied to the skin, DEET has a certain measure of success in repelling insects – provided you cover every last inch of skin that is, and assuming the oil isn’t brushed or sweated off. That’s not the only problem with using DEET-based products however, – it is known to cause skin irritations and is not recommended for use on young children.
Get Your Vie Patch On
Vie Patch bypasses all of these problems effortlessly. It’s not a lotion for a start – it’s a transdermal patch. It’s also completely safe for children. The best thing about Vie Patch however is not what it doesn’t do, but rather what it does: Vie Patch repels mosquitoes and other insects, and it repels them astonishingly well. The patch, which is applied to a dry, hairless area of skin, contains Thiamin (vitamin B1) which has been conclusively proven to deter insects. Vie Patch’s unique formula works with the body’s natural defences to create an invisible ‘barrier’ that shields your skin from insects who’d love nothing more than to nibble their way in. Vie Patch contains no pesticides (unlike DEET) or other harmful agents. It’s safe, it’s simple and best of all, it actually works.
