ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Repellent-1

Alright kiddo, have you ever noticed how some things can keep bugs away? Like how some sprays and bracelets can stop mosquitoes from biting you? These things are called insect repellents, and they use chemicals that bugs don't like to keep them away.

One of these chemicals is called Repellent-1. It's a special ingredient that can be found in some insect repellents. Repellent-1 works by making it hard for bugs to smell us. Bugs usually use their sense of smell to find us, and they are drawn to our sweat and body odor. But when we use Repellent-1, it covers up our scent, and bugs can't find us as easily.

Repellent-1 is safe for humans to use, but it can make bugs have a hard time finding us. That's why it's a helpful ingredient for insect repellents. It keeps us safe from bites and stings from pesky bugs like mosquitoes, ticks, and gnats.

So, next time you're out playing and want to stay away from bugs, remember to use an insect repellent with Repellent-1 to keep them away!
