Chapter 1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Introduction
Nowadays, sicknesses transported by mosquitoes are very dangerous on this planet. Even when most of these diseases threaten populations in other countries where there's a much larger density of mosquito population, you still have to end up being watchful. There are still mosquitoes in your neighbourhood and they could very well be holding fatal diseases.
Insect bites can be bothersome. They can be very itchy which leads to constant scratching which may eventually result to secondary bacterial infection, hyper pigmentation and scarring. The usual remedy is to put a steroid cream to lessen the redness and itchiness. Steroids have anti-inflammatory effects. They are effective in treating insect bites but prolonged use may cause adverse effects like hypo pigmentation, skin atrophy and many others.
People use ointments for a variety of reasons, such as soothing pain and oftentimes to medicate themselves. These days ointments are chiefly for medicinal use - just the thing for rubbing on that nasty rash.
Currently, commercial ointment is so expensive and many people have no money to buy it. Our country is in crises today, so we must think of a better alternative for a much cheaper medicine.

The proponents have come up with another alternative to treat insect bites and that is the application of Alagau ointment. The purpose of alagau ointment is to provide immediate relief for itching and pain. It also helps to prevent skin irritation and it is used to repel insect bites. The production of alagau ointment will cater the needs not only for the child care but also it would be of great help for those people who suffer itchiness and pain.

Background of the Study
Alagau (Premna Odorata Blanco) is a tree that grows wild in many other places in the Philippines. For many years now, Alagau has been considered a drug and one of the great medicinal herbs of the Philippines, being used to loosen phlegm and relieve

    Many attempts have been made to produce an insect repellent from Lanzones peelings. Lanzones peelings are the main ingredient for our study. The group chose it because according to research, the skin of lanzones has a certain compound that can repel mosquitos. When burned, it also produces an aromatic smell which is soothing and relaxing. This ingredient can also be burned easily. It is perfect for the production of katol, a coil of incense used to kill and repel mosquitoes here in the Philippines. It is more effective when lanzones peelings are dried first under the sun so it will be more combustible. When combined with starch, the group will be able to produce a mosquito coil quite similar to those on the market. The only difference is that our group will be making an insect repellent in the form of a candle.…
