EXETER - 235-2420 GRAND BEND - 238-8484 CLINTON - 482-3401 r Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello Various types and strengths of insect repellents work for different lengths of time. Some people like citronella or lavender oils but they are not too effective and act for only 1/2 - 2 hrs. Products containing DEET work best and longest. Those with 30% DEET give protection for 6 hours and are still the best insect repellents. For best effect, the repellents should be reapplied after that time. One further reminder about DEET, for use in children and infants, use only products containing 10% DEET or less. The product should not be applied to infants less than 6 months old. Only 2% of lung cancer cases are caused by environmental or genetic factors. That leaves 98% of lung cancers are caused by cigarette smoking. As we have said before in this column, lung cancer is the most preventable form of cancer. Couples who are having trouble conceiving a child might try avoiding alcohol. Risk of miscarriage was much higher in alcohol users than abstainers. This also applies to the man, too. Alcohol can find its way to the semen which can affect the ability to conceive.
