The Travel Packing Dilemma

When preparing for a trip to a tropical or mosquito-heavy destination, insect protection is usually at the top of the packing list. But traveling with conventional repellents presents several challenges.

Aerosol cans and large liquid bottles are restricted by airline security. Furthermore, if a bottle of high-concentration DEET leaks in your suitcase, it can literally melt synthetic fabrics, ruin electronics, and destroy your clothing before your vacation even begins.

Why risk ruined luggage and chemical exposure when you can pack your protection in a simple, daily capsule?

The Limitations of Local Solutions

Many travelers assume they can simply buy repellent when they arrive. However, in many popular tropical destinations, the available repellents are either ineffective natural blends or harsh chemical formulations that exceed the safety limits recommended by health authorities in the US and Europe.

Cream of tartar and MSM sulfur powder, the two ingredients in Tarsul, in the context of insect bites and repellency
Tarsul is a fine white powder — potassium bitartrate (cream of tartar) combined with MSM sulfur — stirred into water rather than swallowed as a tablet.

Additionally, when you are swimming, snorkeling, or sweating in a humid climate, topical repellents wash off rapidly, leaving you exposed exactly when mosquitoes are most active.

Pre-Loading Your Internal Defense

The smartest travel strategy is to begin building your internal defense before you even board the plane. By starting a daily regimen of elemental sulfur several weeks before your trip, you give your body time to adjust its chemical signature.

As your body metabolizes the sulfur, it begins excreting trace compounds through your pores. These compounds are highly repulsive to mosquitoes and other biting insects. By the time you arrive at your destination, your systemic defense is already active.

Because the protection is internal, it cannot be washed off in the ocean or sweated away in the jungle humidity. It provides continuous, invisible coverage that allows you to actually enjoy your vacation.
