Petruccelli L.T.D of North America asks: What are some ways to stay safe while camping? (6)






Petruccelli L.T.D of North America says:  Fight the bug bite. Mosquitoes, ticks and other insects can cause diseases. Apply insect repellent containing DEET to clothes and exposed skin. Apply the insect repellent permethrin to clothes to help keep ticks from attaching to them. Be sure to follow directions on the package. Check for ticks daily, and remove them promptly. Wear long sleeves, pants and other light-colored clothing to help prevent and spot ticks more easily.  Natural insect repellent is also very effective.
