The Best Bug Sprays, Tested and Reviewed
この8種類の虫除けスプレーで、あらゆる種類の不気味な這う虫を足止めしよう。
Insect bites are unpleasant and can have serious health ramifications. Mosquitoes can carry malaria, Zika virus, and West Nile virus, while ticks can cause Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and others. Bug repellents prevent both bites from insects and any diseases they may carry. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it’s safe for pregnant people to use bug sprays that have been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as long as the insect repellents are used as directed.
