Bangkok - A Thai research institute has developed mosquito-repellent
robes
targeting the kingdom's 400,000 Buddhist monks, who are prohibited
from
killing all animals including pesky insects, insect, media reports
said
Wednesday. Thailand Textile Institute executive director Virat
Tandaechanurat said the anti-mosquito robe, dyed with substances
extracted
from Thai herbs such as galangal, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaf, had
been
proven to repel 97 per cent of mosquitos in tests conducted by the
Department of Medical Sciences, Ministry of Public Health.

The institute forecast that the repellant-robes, to be brand-named
"Mettha
Dhamma" or "Dharma Kindness," could find a good niche market among
Thailand's 400,000 Buddhist monks, said the Thai News Agency.

The five main sins of Buddhism include any form of killing, including
of all
animals, stealing, lying, drinking alcohol and committing adultery.
