Missile maker DRDO now unveils a new insect repellent cream against mosquitoes, vectors of diseases like malaria, and dengue. Launching the ‘Maxo Military’ and ‘Maxo Safe and & Soft Wipes,’ DRDO said the cream based product will fool the mosquitoes, will have a pleasant fragrance and will not block your skin pores - a common problem with such products.
“This cream is based on a uniquely configured, researched and tested molecule which acts like a decoy and cheats the mosquito. It does not allow mosquitoes to sense the presence of human blood in their vicinity,” according to Prahlada, Chief Controller, Research & Development, of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)
The artificially developed molecules in the cream interfere with the sensory mechanism of the mosquito and stop it from biting the humans. Research and developed by DRDO, the product would be manufactured and marketed by Jyothy Laboratories Limited which also holds the license to sell it outside the defence forces. The first of its kind mosquito repellent has been developed under a special technology commercialisation programme signed between the DRDO and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).
