Discussion about WHOPES and Long-lasting Insecticidal Nets to control malaria (6)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear all,

I am speaking not from a technical position but from a mother position. What I know of sprays is that they have long term side effect on humans. I am also not sure to what extend a widespread spraying may be effective in areas that are highly infested over wide areas. I strongly believe in positive reinforcement and as such, would recommend more field education on the use of the net, with some incentive to do so.

In conjunction with the net should be use of petroleum jelly based repellent for the skin.

Regards
