How to Avoid Getting Mosquitoes at Sea
WouterGetting mosquitoes at sea is a problem, but there are some simple ways to reduce the problem. Getting bitten can be unpleasant and can lead to infection. If you do get bitten, you should put the area under running cool water. If you are sensitive to insect saliva, you may experience a severe allergic reaction.
In addition to wearing long sleeves, you should carry an effective insect repellent with you. The most effective chemical repellents contain DEET, picaridin, and IR3535.
You should also consider mosquito coils, which can be purchased at most accommodations on less-populated islands. These emit a light smoke to discourage mosquitoes. You should also apply a repellent to your lower legs and ankles, and to your wrists and feet.
You should avoid wearing dark colors, perfumes, and scented products. You should also wear light colored clothing. Keeping your surroundings clean will also help.
In addition to the above, you should be careful to avoid broadcasting positions. You should also close your windows before dusk.
You should also be careful to avoid places with standing water, which can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can travel very far. They are most active at dawn and dusk.
You should also remember to wear a mosquito head net. Mosquitoes can carry a number of diseases, including Zika virus, malaria, and Dengue fever. You should also use an insecticide, which will kill the larvae that make you itch.
You should also know that you should not scratch the bite. This can lead to infection and can cause it to become worse.
