Is Bug Spray Safe for Kids and Toddlers? Here's What Two Pediatric Experts Told Us.
As much fun as outdoor summer adventures are for the whole family, no matter where you live, it’s likely the time when bugs are most active — and hungry. And nothing ruins a vacation, a beach day, or a hike like itchy, uncomfortable bug bites and stings — especially when those bites are on kids. (This magic mosquito bite salve helps!)
If you want to keep your whole family bite-free throughout the warmer months, make sure you’re using a repellent that’s safe for kids and toddlers. We talked to pediatric health experts to get the low-down on what’s safe to use on children, what to avoid, and how to best apply it, so you can enjoy your summer sans itching and scratching.
