How to protect from insects?

Wear long sleeves, long pants, hats and shoes (rather than sandals). Apply insect repellents to exposed skin (but not to the eyes, mouth, or open wounds).

Don't sleep with the window open unless there is a screen. If sleeping outdoors or in an accommodation that allows entry of mosquitoes, use a bed net, preferably impregnated with insect repellent, with edges tucked in under the mattress. The mesh size should be less than 1.5 mm. If the sleeping area is not otherwise protected, use a mosquito coil, which fills the room with insecticide through the night.
