A PROJECT POPOSAL FOR DENGUE OUTBREAK

I. Project Title:

Herbitrus Candle

II. Introduction:

Have you ever noticed the huge number of Dengue cases in 2019? It
stands at 106,630 from January to June 2019. A National Dengue Alert
was declared by the Department of Health (DOH) on July 15,2019, as it
had been 106,630 Dengue cases reported from January 1 to June 28,
2019. We all know that mosquitoes may just hiding in every corner of
our room. Would you risk your families' health? We are all possible
victim of Dengue, one bite and then your blood counts begins to descend.
Our mission is to prevent Dengue cases, we need to come up with a new
prevention not just patches for kids, sticky spray with the scent of ginger,
but the old practice of the elders that we will be putting in a burning
wick.

III. Objectives:

To use a predictive tool to lessen the occurrence of mosquitoes in a

certain area.

IV. Project Description:

That is why came up to an idea on making a candle with the strips of
pomelo, crushed garlic lemon grass, and oregano leaves. Because the scent
of these crafts is 100% proven mosquito repellent.

*Gardeners plant Oregano in the garden to repel pests such as ants and
mosquitoes, and others claim that the scent and oil of oregano leaves is a
mosquito repellent.

*Mosquitoes detest the smell of citrus fruit, that's why the pomelo
strips can repel mosquitoes.

*Garlic makes a powerful natural insect repellent. Garlic can be used

to repel a variety of crawling and flying insects, including mosquitoes

This project matters because it repel mosquitoes in our house and

other designated areas where mosquitoes may be hiding. We have
accomplished that this product is 100% effective based on our collected
 datas. It has been the practice of indigenous people and elders in provinces
like Cagayan valley and Isabela.

VI. Possible Outcomes:

By using our Herbitrus candle, the widespread of Dengue cases will

be prevented because of its scent. There will no lack of hospital rooms and
beds for dengue patients because the Mosquitoes will die due to the scent of
our Herbitrus candle.

VII. How are the results dessiminated:

Based on our research, the scent of oregano, garlic, lemongrass,

pomelo is 100% mosquito repellent. We also tried our product and it proves
us that the scent of our candle can really remove the mosquito in a certain
area. How does the project add new knowledge to the field? We all knew
that the oregano leaves is for cough and colds only and the skin of pomelo is
useless while the garlic, is only useful in the kitchen, we did not know that
these products can be a mosquito repellent and it is all affordable and
efficient because we can buy it at the public market.

VIII. Methodology:
Our product, Herbitrus, a scented candle that can be use by anyone
ages 11+ and can be use anywhere at home, classrooms, offices, etc. This
product contains a scent that repels mosquitoes, it simply eliminate
mosquitoes around the corners as long as it reaches the scent. Also, it can be
use in air conditioned rooms. The product is made up of herbs and citrus
that's why we came up with its name. It contains garlic, lemongrass, pomelo,
and oregano that's been mixed in liquified wax and solidifies in a shot glass.
There are four steps in making our product. First step, the preparation, we
need to choose the best ingredients-The garlic, lemongrass, unripe pomelo,
and oregano. After the preparation, the ingredients will be boiled altogether.
Second step, after we boil the ingredients, we will seperate the water and the
ingredients, wait until the ingredients cools down and then we mashed all the
ingredients using pestle and mortar then we refrigerate the mashed
ingredients. Third step, we cut in strips the candle's wax, setting aside the
wick to be use afterwards. We put the strips in a microwavable container and
melt it. Meanwhile, we poured the mashed ingredients together the melting
wax. We let it sit there for a few minutes. Fourth step, while being mixed we
prepare the shot glass and adjust the position of the wick, then we poured the
melted wax into the shot glass and then waited until it solidifies.
