Care Plus<sup style=\"font-size: 10px\">\u00ae<\/sup> has an extensive range of products. Regular application of insect repellent to prevent insect bites requires discipline and is often forgotten, so there\u00b4s still a chance to get bitten or stung. This can cause itching and skin rash. Care Plus<sup style=\"font-size: 10px\">\u00ae\u00a0<\/sup>has various products for treating the skin after bites and stings.<\/p>\n<h3>What is itching?<\/h3>\n<p>The stimulation of itching receptors causes itching. These are skin cells that are sensitive to histamine. This is an amino-like substance that is produced by the body. When the itch receptor is stimulated, it sends a signal to the brain that causes you to experience itching.<\/p>\n<p>We generally experience itching as a reaction to something external, such as a mosquito bite or a woolen sweater. There are plants and animals that cause a rash or itching after contact. A natural reaction is to scratch, but this can irritate the skin even more.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f4f4f4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|20px||20px&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.careplus.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Care-Plus\u00ae-Insect-SOS-Gel.webp&#8221; alt=&#8221;Care Plus\u00ae Insect SOS Gel has a soothing, cooling and calming action when used for treating an insect bite or sting&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Care Plus\u00ae Insect SOS Gel&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f4f4f4&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;|15px||15px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px|20px|20px|20px&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#d9d9d9&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Care Plus<sup style=\"font-size: 10px\">\u00ae<\/sup> Insect SOS Gel<\/h3>\n<p>It has a soothing, cooling and calming action when used for treating an insect bite or sting, such as the mosquito, wasp or horsefly.
