With Children - Use a mosquito net over an
infant's buggy or stroller. Keep small children's fingernails clipped
short in summer months to prevent excessive scratching of bites. Take
precautions to help children guard against scratching insect bites
including advising them not to scratch any bites. Do not apply insect
repellent to the hands of young children, who often put hands in their
mouths.
Always keep insect repellents out of the reach of children. Adults
should apply repellent to young children. Follow all child safety
precautions on labels.
Safe and Effective Use - Read and follow product
label directions and cautions. Apply repellent only to exposed skin
and/or clothing as directed on the product label. Do not apply under
clothing. Use only enough to cover exposed skin and/or clothing.
Saturation of clothing or frequent reapplication to skin is unnecessary
for effectiveness. Do not apply repellent to eyes or mouth, nor over
cuts, wounds or irritated skin. On returning indoors, wash treated skin
with soap and water. This is particularly important when repellents are
used repeatedly. If any reaction to a repellent is suspected, wash the
treated skin and seek medical attention. Show the product to a health
professional for proper identification.
