🦟☀️ Bugs Be Gone—Safely!
Insect repellents help protect your child from bites, but using them safely is key. Here are some smart tips:
🔍 Read the label and follow all directions
👕 Apply only to exposed skin and outer clothing
🚫 Never spray directly on the face—spray your hands first, then apply
❌ Avoid cuts, wounds, or irritated skin
🧴 Use just enough—more isn’t better
🌬️ Spray in open areas to avoid inhaling
👶 Apply for young kids; supervise older ones
🧼 Wash skin and clothes after use
☀️ Avoid combo products with DEET + sunscreen—they can reduce SPF and overexpose your child to DEET
