The report emphasizes the importance of using effective bug repellents to prevent bites from mosquitoes and ticks, which can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and Zika fever. DEET-based products were noted for their strong performance but may pose risks to fabrics and have an oily texture. DEET-free options like Repel Lemon Eucalyptus provide a safer alternative for those concerned about chemical exposure. The findings are particularly relevant for outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and individuals in areas with high mosquito and tick activity.
