Does Vicks VapoRub repel mosquitoes?
Vicks VapoRub is personal care product that is formulated to relieve the symptoms of cold and flu. It is not intended to repel any insect, but rather to aid with relief. For complete relief, it will be necessary to follow up with a topical or oral repellent.
Does VapoRub help with mosquito bites?
Yes, VapoRub can help with mosquito bites. Mosquitoes are attracted to our personal body odour and when we use VapoRub locally on our skin in the areas where mosquitoes are biting more often, we are drawing them away from our skin and off of us. This will be a temporary relief as you have to reapply it as needed.
How do you use Vicks VapoRub on your skin?
First, get a small amount of Vicks VapoRub and rub it over your chest and throat. Cover the areas around your neck, but not your face. Wait a few minutes until the vapors are absorbed and breathe deeply to help alleviate congestion. Spit the vapors into a tissue and apply them topically to a dry irritated or red skin condition to ease pain
