Biting insect season is upon us and it coincides with warmer weather when we all spend more time outdoors, such as when on summer vacations. When outside playing, be smart about what you wear for the best chance of avoiding insect bites.
- Light Colors: Dress in light colored clothes to discourage mosquitoes and to enable you to spot ticks more easily
- Long Sleeves: If not too warm, long sleeves are a simple solution to protect your arms which are prime targets for biting insects
- Collars Up: Collars help protect your neck from insect bites. Keep the preppy-cool collar-up style ready for biting insect season!
- Cuff Your Pants: Wear long pants and cuff them into your socks or boots to protect your ankles and legs.
- Hats: Hats are a great way to protect the head from bites and to avoid sunburn.
The best tip: apply and re-apply insect repellent like Natrapel, DEET-free insect repellent to both clothes and skin. And always have an insect bite treatment like After Bite for relief from the itch and discomfort of bug bites.
