6 insecticidas recomendados por expertos que funcionan de verdad
Ya sea para acampar, hacer senderismo o simplemente pasar el rato en un parque cercano.
A bug bite is, at best, irritating, and at worst, deadly. This summer, as the weather heats up and we spend more time outside for picnics, camping trips, al fresco dining, and long-awaited summer travel, a bottle of bug spray can be as important to pack as sunscreen.
But it's not as easy as just dousing yourself with bug spray. You need to know how to apply it, how often to reapply, and how to layer it with your favorite SPF.
