Sleeping Sickness: To protect against sleeping sickness, avoid areas in Africa that are heavily infested. Tsetse flies bite during the day. Wear long pants & long sleeved shirts of medium or heavier weight that are impregnated w permethrin. Can apply DEET. Wear neutral colored clothing. Use bed nets when sleeping. Keep shrubs & weeds down.
