Of course, it is impossible to completely isolate ourselves from blood-sucking insects, no matter how much we would like to.
However, there are still some preventive measures that can help reduce the number of bites, and with them the dangerous consequences, to a minimum.
Prevention of mosquito bites
Home Protection
To prevent mosquitoes from getting into your home, make sure that mosquito nets are installed on the window frames. Another effective means is electric fumigators. If you would like to protect your summerhouse veranda from insects, lay out cotton pads soaked in essential oils, the smell of which is unbearable for midges and mosquitoes.
Protection in nature
During a picnic, it is advisable to use mosquito coils - wood chips that emit an unpleasant odor for mosquitoes when burning. Please note: coils are not suitable for indoor use, as they can be hazardous to health due to toxic smoke and the risk of fire.
When visiting the forest, it is recommended to wear clothing that covers your arms, legs, neck and head.
When encountering wild bees or wasps, you should not provoke them - do not destroy nests, wave your hands, or try to catch them.
Body protection
Doctors recommend using repellents that contain chemicals that repel insects. There are special children's repellents for children, the composition of which is safer.
