Day after day, the risk of contracting diseases caused by mosquitoes increased, so studying how to avoid mosquito bites was of great importance. This is done by using a mosquito repellent directly on the skin or applying it to textiles, which are chemicals or natural substances that affect mosquitoes by inhibiting and repelling them. This material is applied by the microencapsulation method, cyclodextrin applications, emulsion, or direct application method.
