When you're considering what to put on your skin for insect protection, you want to consider
what types of insects are you dealing with. Also, how long are you going to be out, what
type of conditions, that sort of thing. There are a multitude of insect repellents that
you can apply to your skin as you can see here. And they all work. Some work better
than others, some work better with certain insects than others, it just depends on what
you're really looking for them to do, as to which one you're going to select. So we're
going to go into each one of these, as we go down the line, but these are basically
the topicals, these are the ones that you apply directly to your skin, some are oil
based, some are lotion based, some are sprays, some are rub ons. So it's just going to depend
on what you're looking for as to whether or not there going to work for you and your particular
application. So we'll go through that, we'll go through each individual type of insect,
the active ingredient, which is the most important thing, and then we'll decide which one is
going to be best for you.
