Hi Care (Insect Repellent)

Hi Care insect repellent may contain DEET, permethrin, and fragrances that trigger skin, respiratory, and immune reactions. Avoid DEET-based products, use natural alternatives, and support detox pathways to manage sensitivity and boost well-being.

🚫 What is Hi Care (Insect Repellent)?

Hi Care is an insect repellent designed to protect against mosquitoes, ticks, and other pests. It typically contains DEET (N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide), permethrin, or plant-based oils that deter insects. While effective, some ingredients may cause skin irritation, respiratory discomfort, or chemical sensitivities in some individuals.

🤔 Why Do I Have a Sensitivity to Hi Care?

Your sensitivity to Hi Care may stem from its chemical composition and effects on skin, respiratory function, and detox pathways:

  • DEET exposure – Some people experience dizziness, headaches, or skin irritation when exposed to DEET.
  • Permethrin toxicity – A synthetic pesticide used in repellents, permethrin can cause neurological effects in sensitive individuals.
  • Fragrances & preservatives – Synthetic additives may trigger allergic reactions or worsen chemical sensitivities.
  • Respiratory irritation – Aerosol sprays can release fumes that cause coughing or breathing discomfort.
  • Liver detox burden – The liver must break down these chemicals, which can overwhelm detox pathways.

🛠️ What Can I Do About It?

  • Switch to DEET-free, natural repellents – Use citronella, eucalyptus, or lemon oil-based products.
  • Choose lotion-based repellents – Avoid aerosol sprays to reduce inhalation exposure.
  • Improve ventilation – Use repellent in open areas to minimize fume inhalation.
  • Wash skin after use – Remove any remaining repellent with mild soap and water.
  • Monitor symptoms – Avoid Hi Care for 8 weeks and retest to assess improvement.

💊 Which Supplements Can Help with Hi Care Intolerance?

🌟 Why Might I Have an Intolerance to Hi Care but Not Other Insect Repellents?

  • DEET sensitivity – Some people react more strongly to DEET than to plant-based alternatives.
  • Aerosol exposure – Sprays release airborne chemicals that may trigger respiratory sensitivity.
  • Fragrance concentration – Hi Care may contain synthetic scents that worsen reactions.
  • Pesticide content – If permethrin is included, it may cause stronger neurological effects than natural repellents.
