It would be marvelous to have an apply once every few
months transparent sunscreen
The Michael reaction that links keratin to henna is
configured to attach to a sunscreen molecule. I have
read that during the 20th century photoaging was the
bulk of visible aging Thus three month sunscreen
would
be a beneficial cosmetic as well
Minimize Malaria with transparent HennaDEET
Scientific American August 2008 states that DEET lasts
17.5 days Noting that Hair is keratin, a keratin reactive
version of DEET could repel bugs for years as a
transparent coating on head or even microhairs
As regards to preventing malaria tests a variety of
Keratin reactive DEETs or even other insecticides could
verify that keratin reacted DEET was still active
Noting that numerous bioassays use polymer attached
reagents yet are still functional the KeratinDEET may
still be effective
DEET bonded to head hair or skin might actually be
measured as much less physioaccumulative than
reapplications of a liquid to the skin thus actually
reducing both quantity as well as circulating plasma
levels of the chemical.
These are public domain ideas with a variation!
You can invent this before me to create profitable
proprietary materials!
I will be fully describing my chemical version after June
7 (like which Benzone like avobenzone I think is most
likely to be restructured as keratin reactive as well as
the a suggested keratin reactive version of the DEET
molecule)
The reader can thus create intellectual property ahead of
me that creates financial incentives to spread the
technology

Health implications of prolonged DEET exposure.

Beany!!!!!!!! Where have you been??? I missed you!
Good to have you back. |
|
|
Doesnt the DEET need to be volatile to work? How do the bugs smell it if it is covalently bonded to hair? |
|
|
Sunscreen on the other hand should work fine this way. +. |
|
|
But even more fun: more colors than boring old henna! Hook dyes onto henna for colorful permutations! |
|

DEET DOES NOT NEED TO BE APPLIED TO THE BODY. do not apply DEET to the skin, apply to clothing or backpack. Do not inhale. |
|
|
Can you make a drinkable alcoholic version? Or a KoolAid version for the kiddies? (Might want to sell the stuff out of the trunk of a nondescript car until the formula is refined and the kill ratio goes down...) |

No matter! Bun, just for showing up again. [+] |

[WcW] I agree; I've always applied insect repellents to clothing rather than skin. About the best thing that can be said about DEET is that it works, and it's better than having malaria. |

I think the stuff is amazing. Likely it has saved many many lives. The people who really need it cannot afford it and the people who can afford it use it to gross excess. I am specifically concerned about the interaction between DEET exposure and amplified damage from pyrethrins. With human and plant sources so common individuals cannot effectively be aware of exposure levels. By maintaining a high load on the systems that metabolize this family of aromatics the risk of chronic and acute exposure is increased. It is my opinion that many cases of neurological harm attributed to compounds with low laboratory toxicity are due to overloading of the disposal pathways of these toxins by chronic exposure to analogous compounds of a seemingly benign nature. |

reading all the ingedients at sunscreen I noticed
that silica was listed |
|
|
Thats an opportunity to make little silica rounds
with IR UV absorptive cores such that the silica is
frequency specific UV IR absorbent. It might be
nonvisible as well There is this effect when they
nanosize TiO2 it becomes smaller than visible light
thus goes translucent rather than visible yet
absorbs UV The custom frequency silica rounds
could be similar yet screen custom frequencies |
|
|
If they did minimize the light frequencies of aging
research on nude mice then cosmetics could have
the silica absorber core custom frequency which
seems to go well with the extreme advertising
these products have. Also as mere silica surface
rounds it might be FDA preapproved. |
