1. Use mosquito repellent products
   • Insect repellent: Choose a mosquito repellent that contains DEET (DEET), Picaridin (picaridin), IR3535 (imonin), or a natural ingredient (such as lemon eucalyptus oil) and apply to exposed skin according to the product instructions.
   • Mosquito repellent patches: For children or people who are sensitive to mosquito repellent, patches containing the above ingredients can be used.
   • Mosquito repellent bracelets: Wristbands containing mosquito repellent ingredients are available in the market and can be worn on the wrist or ankle.
2. Wear protective clothing
   • Long-sleeved clothing: Wearing long-sleeved tops and pants can reduce skin exposure and reduce the risk of mosquito bites.
   • Light-coloured clothing: Mosquitoes are more likely to bite dark-coloured clothing, so choosing light-coloured clothing can reduce the chance of attracting mosquitoes.
   • Breathable materials: Choose clothes that are breathable to avoid attracting mosquitoes due to sweating.
3. Environmental management
   • Remove stagnant water: Mosquitoes need water to breed, and regularly clean up stagnant water in and around your home, such as flower pot trays, buckets, discarded tires, etc.
   • Use mosquito nets: When outdoors or sleeping, the use of mosquito nets can provide a physical barrier.
   • Install screen doors: Install screen doors in your home to prevent mosquitoes from entering the house.
   Fourth, indoor mosquito prevention
   • Use electric mosquito coils: Use electric mosquito coils or mosquito coil tablets, but pay attention to safe use and avoid fire.
   • Use mosquito killer lamps: Place mosquito killer lamps indoors and use mosquito phototaxis to attract and destroy them.
4. Precautions for outdoor activities
   • Avoid going out at dusk and dawn: this is the time when mosquito activity is most frequent.
   • Choose a place with fewer mosquitoes: Try to avoid activities in places with a high concentration of mosquitoes, such as grass and water.
5. Personal hygiene
   • Keep your body clean: Bathe regularly and reduce the smell of sweat, as mosquitoes are attracted to sweat.
   • Use soap or body wash: Choose a soap or body wash that contains insect repellent.
6. Child protection
   • Use mosquito repellent products for children: Children with delicate skin should use low-concentration mosquito repellent products designed for children.
   • Wear long-sleeved pants: Choose breathable long-sleeved pants for children to reduce skin exposure.
   • Avoid the use of fumigants: Avoid using fumigants around children so as not to affect their breathing.
   By taking the above measures, you can effectively reduce the risk of mosquito bites in summer and protect the health of yourself and your family. If you experience discomfort after a mosquito bite, you should take immediate steps to relieve the symptoms, such as using anti-itch creams or cold compresses. If symptoms are severe or there are signs of infection, you should seek medical attention promptly.
