Prevention tip: Use age-appropriate repellent (up to 30% DEET), avoid scented products, and dress kids in light colors.

Use this guide to learn how to avoid and treat prevalent insect bites and stings to help ensure the health and safety of children this summer.

Sun safety starts now! ☀️

For kids 6 months and older, choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ to protect against UVA and UVB rays. A water-resistant formula helps even when they’re not swimming, and be sure to reapply every two hours. Take extra care around water and sand, where the sun’s rays can reflect onto the skin.
