Buying advice

When choosing an insect bite treatment, consider the type of reaction (mild vs severe), ingredients (antihistamines vs hydrocortisone), and application method (cream vs suction device). For prevention, use an EPA-registered repellent. Always patch test new products and consult a doctor for severe allergies.
