Apart from being annoying, stinging and biting insects can also be dangerous in some cases. They can transmit infectious diseases or cause an allergic reaction. Care Plus\u00ae\u00a0<\/sup>products reduce the chances of insect bites, stings and nuisance. This reduces the risk of malaria ((sub)tropical destinations), Zika (an encroaching disease, especially harmful to pregnant women), yellow fever (tropical Africa, South America) and dengue fever.<\/strong><\/p>\n Care Plus\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0also provides useful tips to prevent tick bites.

Fortunately, there are preventative measures you can take to reduce the chances of being bitten by a mosquito. In any case, it is a good idea to check the space for mosquitoes before going to sleep and to install preventative insect screens.

These provide good, but NOT full protection. More than 1 million people die every year from malaria. There is no vaccination or medication for dengue. Therefore, you need to prevent mosquito bites as much as possible.\u00a0Read more about tropical diseases<\/a>\u00a0transmitted by mosquitoes.<\/p>\n The malaria mosquito is only active in the evening and at night, the dengue mosquito mainly during the day.

Keep an eye on your body after a bite and make sure you recognise\u00a0symptoms<\/a>\u00a0of a potential infection. If in doubt, it is always wise to consult a doctor. Protecting yourself against ticks is slightly different because ticks don’t fly and you’re not likely to find them in your bedroom. Unfortunately, ticks can transmit diseases, such as Lyme disease and meningitis. It is a good idea to take the right preventative measures and reduce the chances of being bitten by a tick. It is wise to check for ticks, also on children.

When you remove a tick within 8 hours, the chance of infection is relatively small. When a tick carries the Borrelia bacterium, you can contract Lyme disease through a bite. You can also contract meningitis. Keep an eye on your body after the bite and make sure you recognise the symptoms of a potential infection. When in doubt, it is always wise to consult a doctor.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When you have been bitten by a mosquito, there are products to relieve the itching. If you are bitten by a tick, make sure you remove the tick correctly.<\/p>\n With special tick pincers, a tick spoon or tick lasso, you can safely remove the tick. Without such a tool it is impossible to remove a tick: you cannot remove the entire tick with your nails. Other tools, such as tweezers are not accurate enough to remove the parasite from the skin the right way. Certainly, do not use fire or soap. Remove a tick with the right tool<\/a> as soon as possible after the tick bite. There will be a minimal chance of infection if you remove the tick within eight hours of the bite. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Prevent insect bites Apart from being annoying, stinging and biting insects can also be dangerous in some cases.
