Insect repellent: Please use an insect repellent. One option are the ones that have picardin (lemon tree oil of euculyptus) as the active ingredient. Apply every 3-4 hrs, it is very safe and can be effective. Also products with 20% DEET or less are considered safe and effective in children older than 2 months of age, there are theoritical neurotoxic side effects.
