Bite Prevention

CDC Recommended active ingredients of repellent: Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus, Deet, Picaridin, "IR3535"

Protect yourself and your family at home and abroad by wearing repellent. If traveling, wear repellent during and after your return back home. This prevents the possible introduction and spread of diseases to your local community.
