Don't Let Them BUG you.
Avoid the insect world's most wanted! Bees, hornets, yellow jackets, and wasps Mosquitoes, fleas, chiggers and ticks. OH MY! Don't forget SPIDERS.

Tips to avoid a bite or sting is to make yourself unappetizing. 1. Never leave out food or open drinks. 2. Do not use colognes, perfumes, scented soaps, or hairsprays. 3. Apply insect repellent. ( read and follow all directions for use) 4. Dress in pale colors, avoiding all bright or flowery prints.
If you are stung or bit, clean the area with soap and water, and apply ice. If the stinger is still embedded, DO NOT SQUEEZE! Scrape the stinger loose with something stiff, like a credit card. |
