My son is allergic to mosquitos. what can be bring as precaution on camping trips?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prevention: Bring a bottle of 100% deet to place on clothing (not this strong on skin). Wear light weight long sleeves and pants. If he does get bit, cold on immediate area to reduce blood flow, and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or Atarax can be used for itching. We are all pretty much 'allergic' to mosquito bites - some of us just react more to their venom than others. Prevention is the way to go!
