Bug Safety

The summer season brings about bugs. Unfortunately, some bugs irritate humans and are just plain bothersome. As a result, FAME Solutions is here to give you a few suggestions on how you may protect yourself from those pesky irritants.

• Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks to cover your skin.

– Tuck your shirt into your pants and your pants into your socks for maximum protection.

• Use bug repellent on your skin and clothing.

– If you are also using sunscreen, apply it first, let it dry, and then apply repellent.

• Do not spray repellent on the skin under clothing.

• Consider using clothing and gear (such as boots, pants, socks, and tents) that are treated with an insecticide.

– You can buy pre-treated clothes or treat your own clothes. If treating items yourself, follow instructions carefully.

• Check everyone for ticks after spending time outside.

• Take a shower after being outside to help wash away ticks.

• Remember to check your pets for ticks.

Be safe and keep the bugs away
