Video Transcript

"One of the most important things you can do in terms of insect protection is purchase pretreated clothing. The clothing that you may see in your outdoor store it's going to go by the label, "Buzz Off." That's the most popular label, and it is a permethrin treated line of insect treated clothing. And it's basically will stay in your clothes for roughly twenty-six washings. So it does not wash out and you can use them over, and over, and over, and over again. And so you can purchase these clothes which have been pretreated. And you can buy pants, shirts, socks, hats, all of the basic essentials that you're going to need in order to protect yourself from insect bits. And the treating that goes into these clothes is actually an insecticide, so it actually paralyzes the insect, and so you do not get bit. And that makes your experience much more enjoyable."
