If you are allergic to insect bites, bugs or mosquitoes bring along insect repellents. Even if you are not allergic they can be “bugging” therefore it is good to be prepared. Insect bites depending on the nature of the insect can be minimal or extensive. Stay alert especially if you deal with a hypersensitivity of your skin.

Insect Repellents Needed When Kayaking

On outdoor adventures insect repellents must be part of your first aid kit. Insect repellents are substances, which stop insects from landing on the surface on which the repellent is applied on. Insect repellent is applied on the skin or on clothing. Commonly used insect repellents are DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide), Picaridin, Permethrin and natural essential oils. Herbal oils with natural insect repelling effects are Lemon Grass oil, Citronella oil, Geranium oil, Neem oil, Eucalyptus oil, Pine oil, Rosemary oil. Considering the fact that the natural oils are completely safe, 100% natural and non-toxic, it is for your own well-being to choose them as your insect-repellents.
