🦟 Bug bites can be more than just annoying—so let’s talk insect repellent!
Products containing DEET or picaridin are safe and effective at keeping away biting insects like mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, and fleas. (Just a heads up—they won’t help with bees or wasps!) The higher the concentration, the longer the protection lasts.
When applying, sticks, lotions, wipes, or unpressurized sprays are best. If you’re using an aerosol spray, apply it outside and away from little ones to avoid inhalation.
And don’t forget the power of good clothing! Long sleeves, pants, and avoiding super buggy areas can add an extra layer of defense. Stay covered, stay comfortable, and stay bite-free! 🌿
