THERE’S A NATURAL PREVENTION FOR
MOSQUITO-RELATED DISEASES
There are more than 300
types of mosquitoes in
Australia that carry a
myriad of nasties including
Dengue fever, Australian
encephalitis and Barmah
Forrest virus disease.
Malaria has also been
transmitted locally in Australia so it’s important to ensure you
and your family are protected.
PARA’KITO works by diffusing a blend of seven essential oils
extracted from plants to mask the presence of humans from
mosquitoes. As a natural and safe alternative to other products
on the market, PARA’KITO is ideal for adults, children, babies,
pregnant women and allergy sufferers alike, as it has no direct
contact with the skin and leaves no unpleasant odour.
PARA’KITO features a comfortable band that can be worn on
wrist or ankle, and the PARA’KITO clip can be attached to a belt
buckle, backpack, stroller or even keys.

AUSTRALIANS CRAVE SNACKS MORE THAN SEX!
Australia is a nation ruled by snack cravings with almost two
thirds of us experiencing cravings for snacks (60 per cent),
overshadowing the urge for ‘partner time’ between the sheets
(49 per cent) or cuddles (39 per cent) according to research
released today by Wonderful Pistachios™ suggesting Aussies
care more about satisfying their appetite than intimacy.
Notably, the study shows Australians snuggle up with snacks in
bed as a top snacking hotspot for over half (51 per cent) the
population, suggesting a sense of comfort is created from
snacking.
Cravings are strongly linked to action with seven in ten (71 per
cent) people stating that they snack because of a craving, and
many admit going to surprising lengths for their love of snacks.
