How To Prevent Insect Bites
The sun is shining; the birds are singing and there’s nothing you want more than to be outside and enjoying yourself. There’s nothing worse than feeling like you can’t enjoy yourself or, even worse, feeling afraid because you know that insects are more than just annoying, they can be dangerous, too. Mosquitoes can carry all kinds of diseases, such as Malaria, Dengue Fever, Yellow Fever, and others! It’s really important for you to make sure you’re prepared and protected against mosquitoes and the many other dangerous disease-carrying insects out there. Here is Alfresco’s guide on how to prevent insect bites.
