How to Avoid Mosquito Bites

April 7, 2009


A mosquito buzzing in your ears is extremely annoying but it’s even worse when this little creature can cause you infections like malaria and influenza. You are exposed to these tiny dangerous pests when you are out camping or when you are in a densely forested area. If you are aware of the location that you are venturing into there are a few precautions you can take care off before hand like watching your attire or carrying a repellent spray.

Wear long pants and a long sleeved hoddie not matter how hot you are feeling. You must assure yourself about the fact that you rather sweat for a few hours when you are outdoors than lie in bed screaming in pain for weeks. Keep your ears covered, put cotton balls in your ears if you don’t have a beanie. For children dress them in thick clothes that the mosquitoes will not be able to bite through. Ensure that they are wearing their shoe sat all times even if you are walking around bare foot.

Spray mosquito repellent spray on your clothes before you venture outdoors. This will prevent them from buzzing around you. Your friend will laugh at you for a few minutes; however they will be running to do the same after they’ve been bitten a few dozen times and you are bite free.

If you are at a bonfire then add a few aromatic oils to the fire. This will reduce the number of mosquitoes in the area. Tea tree oil will send them miles away.

If you’ve been bitten please do not itch the area. Once you start you will never be able to stop. Wash the area with warm water (if you have access to some else normal temperature water will work). Use a mild antiseptic soap and towel dry. Slather on aloe vera gel on the bitten area to take care of the reddening.
