A great opportunity and the marine park has done well by many with what they have, It is a shame they continue to promote products such as cactus juice and bodygard that have never been proven for any type of repellant in an area where Dengue and Malaria are an issue. It is fine to support local business but when health is involved I just cannot understand the marine park ignoring the health risks and them not promoting one single product that has been endorsed by the CDCfor the prevention of malaria and Dengue
 
Once again, nothing to do with the topic on hand but thank you for your positive comment.
If you find the time, please put me in contact with the distributor of SC. Johnson for the product mentioned below which may be useful as a mosquito repellent for the island, if it works

Better yet, Let us know where Bodyguard or Cactus juice has been proven to do anything. Of course we all know, Unlike Deet, There are chemicals in some of the cactus juice products that have actually been shown to hurt the reef.
Shouldn't it be those who make a paycheck working for the marine park that are responsible for accuracy? You say Deet is no good and yet you promote products such as cactus juice and bodyguard that have never had any testing, this in an area where we all know dengue and malaria is an issue, How responsible is that? Should we save the reef by letting people get bit by disease carrying critters or maybe lay offf the deet bashing since there has never been one study done to show it has any effect on the reef.
Don't get me wrong. I am all for a marne park but you have to get your priorities in order. Everyone has heard deet hurts the reef but there is nothing to su[pport that but let the cruise ships in and people walk on it and say they never heard the issues??? Maybe you need to change your tactics.
