In addition to vaccines and prescription-only medication, we offer for sale a range of other useful travel health items . The range is not meant to be comprehensive, rather a selection of products which we have first-hand experience of using in the field (either personally or professionally) and which we can recommend:
Aloe Gator® range: Long lasting (up to 8 hours), waterproof, non-greasy, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, contains soothing Aloe vera gel, and no PABA (so it shouldn't sting if/when the sweat runs into your eyes).
We stock SPF factors 15 and 40 sun-creams for adults, broad-spectrum SPF 40 cream for children, flavoured SPF 30 lip balms and Aloe Gator Green Stuff after-sun pure A. vera gel. Made in USA.
These all work by confusing the 'homing-in' mechanism of biting insects. They do not 'repel', as such, so do not have to be noxious or very smelly.
All our mosquito nets are impregnated with long-lasting permethrin and therefore offer maximum protection at night from mosquitoes, sand flies, kissing bugs etc. They also help to keep out snakes, scorpions and vampire bats, if tucked in properly.
We offer a range of sizes and options, including a compact net for backpackers, three self-standing, pop-up Mosi-Net® models (head dome, single and double bed), and various bell and box nets. A special jungle hammock net, designed to Jim's specifications, will also shortly be available. Made in Turkey.
