Before your trip, don't forget to buy a mosquito spray, such as this Anti-Insect Deet 40% spray. An insect bite is not only annoying, but can also transmit diseases such as malaria, dengue fever (dengue) and yellow fever.
Protection against mosquitoes and ticks:
Mosquitoes and ticks can cause nasty bites. Although bites from some mosquito species and ticks are not painful and sometimes you do not even feel them, they can transmit bacteria, parasites and viruses. The mosquitoes in the Netherlands that can infect you with disease are thankfully small in number, but of course there is also the irritating buzzing of mosquitoes when you are trying to sleep.
There are a number of ways to keep mosquitoes away from you and thus reduce the chances of a mosquito bite. What works best is of course making sure there are no mosquitoes around, but that is sometimes difficult, especially when you are on holiday. At home in your own home, you can install mosquito nets on windows and doors, but on holiday you are more likely to rely on a good mosquito net, also known as a mosquito net.
There are also repellents you can rub on your skin. The best known is of course Anti-Insect with DEET by Care Plus®.
