DEETʻo ia kekahi o nā mea pale i hōʻoia ʻia he pono e kūʻē i nā makika, nā ʻuku, a me nā pepeke ʻino ʻē aʻe. Akā, no ka ikaika o kēia kemika, pehea ka palekana o DEET no nā kānaka?
ʻO DEET, ka mea a nā kemika i kapa aku ai ʻo N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide, aia ma ka liʻiliʻi he 120 mau huahana i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia me ka US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ʻO kēia mau huahana e komo pū me nā mea hoʻolei pepeke, nā mea hoʻolei, nā lotion, a me nā kāwele holoi.
Mai ka hoʻolauna mua ʻia ʻana o DEET i ka lehulehu i ka makahiki 1957, ua hana ka Environmental Protection Agency i ʻelua mau loiloi palekana nui o ka kemika.
Akā ʻo Bethany Huelskoetter, APRN, DNP, he loea lapaʻau ʻohana ma OSF Healthcare, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua pale kekahi mau maʻi i kēia mau huahana, makemake lākou i nā mea i kūʻai ʻia aku he "kūlohelohe" a "lāʻau lapaʻau paha."
ʻOiai paha e kūʻai ʻia aku ana kēia mau mea hoʻolei ʻē aʻe he mea ʻawahia ʻole, ʻaʻole lōʻihi ka hopena o ko lākou hopena hoʻolei e like me DEET.
"I kekahi manawa, ʻaʻole hiki ke pale aku i nā mea pale kemika. He mea pale maikaʻi loa ʻo DEET. ʻO nā mea pale a pau ma ka mākeke, ʻo DEET ka waiwai maikaʻi loa no ke kālā," wahi a Huelskoetter iā Verywell.
E hoʻohana i kahi mea pale maikaʻi e hōʻemi i ka makaʻu o ka maneʻo a me ka ʻoluʻolu ʻole mai nā nahu pepeke. Akā hiki nō hoʻi ke lilo i mea pale olakino: Kokoke i ka hapalua miliona mau kānaka e loaʻa ana i ka maʻi Lyme i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma hope o ka nahu ʻana o ka makika, a ua manaʻo ʻia he 7 miliona mau kānaka i loaʻa i ka maʻi mai ka wā i puka mua mai ai ka maʻi West Nile i lawe ʻia e ka makika ma US i ka makahiki 1999. ʻO ka poʻe i loaʻa i ka maʻi.
Wahi a Consumer Reports, ua helu mau ʻia ʻo DEET ʻo ia ka mea hana ikaika loa i nā mea pale pepeke ma ka nui o 25%. Ma ke ʻano laulā, ʻo ke kiʻekiʻe o ka nui o DEET i loko o kahi huahana, ʻo ka lōʻihi o ka hopena pale.
ʻO nā mea pale ʻē aʻe e komo pū ana me ka picaridin, permethrin, a me ka PMD (ʻaila lemon eucalyptus).
Ua ʻike ʻia kahi noiʻi i ka makahiki 2023 i hoʻāʻo ai i 20 mau mea pale ʻaila koʻikoʻi ʻaʻole i lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o nā aila koʻikoʻi ma mua o hoʻokahi hola a me ka hapa, a ua nalowale kekahi i ka pono ma hope o hoʻokahi minuke. I ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, hiki i ka mea pale DEET ke pale aku i nā makika no ka liʻiliʻi he 6 mau hola.
Wahi a ka Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), he kakaikahi nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole mai DEET. Ma kahi hōʻike 2017, ua ʻōlelo ke keʻena he 88 pakeneka o nā hōʻike DEET i hōʻike ʻia i nā kikowaena kaohi lāʻau make ʻaʻole i hopena i nā hōʻailona e pono ai ka mālama ʻana e ka ʻōnaehana mālama ola. Ma kahi o ka hapalua o ka poʻe i ʻike ʻole i nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole, a ʻo ka hapa nui o ke koena he mau hōʻailona iki wale nō, e like me ka hiamoe, ka huhū o ka ʻili, a i ʻole ka ʻūlū manawa pōkole, i nalowale koke.
ʻO nā hopena koʻikoʻi i ka DEET e hopena pinepine i nā hōʻailona neurological e like me ka hopu ʻana, ka kaohi ʻana i nā ʻiʻo, ka hana hoʻouka kaua, a me ka hōʻino ʻana o ka ʻike.
"Ke noʻonoʻo nei he miliona o ka poʻe ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e hoʻohana ana iā DEET i kēlā me kēia makahiki, he kakaikahi loa nā hōʻike e pili ana i nā hopena olakino koʻikoʻi mai ka hoʻohana ʻana iā DEET," wahi a ka hōʻike ATSDR.
Hiki nō hoʻi iā ʻoe ke pale aku i nā nahu pepeke ma ke komo ʻana i nā lima lōʻihi a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana a i ʻole ka pale ʻana i nā wahi hoʻomoe pepeke, e like me ka wai kū, kou pā hale, a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe āu e hele pinepine ai.
Inā koho ʻoe e hoʻohana i kahi huahana i loaʻa ka DEET, e hahai i nā kuhikuhi ma ka lepili huahana. Wahi a nā Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, pono ʻoe e hoʻohana i ka nui haʻahaʻa loa o ka DEET e pono ai no ka mālama ʻana i ka palekana - ʻaʻole iʻoi aku ma mua o 50 pakeneka.
I mea e hōʻemi ai i ka pilikia o ka hanu ʻana i nā mea pale, paipai ka CDC i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea pale ma nā wahi i hoʻoluʻu maikaʻi ʻia ma mua o nā wahi paʻa. No ka hoʻopili ʻana i kou maka, e pīpī i ka huahana ma kou mau lima a hamo ma kou maka.
Hoʻohui ʻo ia: "Makemake ʻoe i kou ʻili e hanu ma hope o ke kau ʻana, a me ka ea kūpono ʻaʻole ʻoe e huhū i ka ʻili."
He palekana ʻo DEET no nā keiki, akā ke ʻōlelo nei ke Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ʻaʻole e hoʻopili nā keiki ma lalo o 10 mau makahiki i ka repellent iā lākou iho. ʻAʻole pono nā keiki ma lalo o ʻelua mahina e hoʻohana i nā huahana i loaʻa ka DEET.
He mea nui e kāhea koke aku i kahi kikowaena kaohi lāʻau make inā ʻoe e hanu a moni paha i kahi huahana i loaʻa ka DEET, a inā paha e komo ka huahana i loko o kou mau maka.
Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi ala hilinaʻi e kāohi ai i nā mea ʻino, ʻoiai ma nā wahi i ʻike nui ʻia ai nā makika a me nā ʻuku, he koho palekana a maikaʻi hoʻi ʻo DEET (inā hoʻohana ʻia e like me ka lepili). ʻAʻole paha e hāʻawi nā koho kūlohelohe i ka pae like o ka palekana, no laila e noʻonoʻo i ke kaiapuni a me ka pilikia o nā maʻi i lawe ʻia e nā pepeke i ke koho ʻana i kahi mea pale.
