Lyme Disease Prevention - Treat your clothes with Permethrin
from Today’s Gut Health Tip · host Melissa Hall Klepacki, M.Ac.
Having designated clothing for outdoor play, gardening or hiking is a great idea. Treating these pieces of clothing with a spray containing the chemical Permethrin repels bugs and insects keeping you safe. The one we like is on our Wellness Warrior Checklist here: http://a.co/bTVcHjo Make sure to use it in a well ventilated area and don't breathe in the spray. Let the clothing dry for a few hours before wearing and never spray directly onto skin. As always, tick check when coming inside, throw those clothes into the washer and hop in the shower. Remember the clothes sprayed with Permethrin will protect you for up to 6 washes.
