In summer, mosquitoes can really get on your nerves during your outdoor activities. Not only are they annoying, they also cause itchy, painful bites that can spoil your trip into the great outdoors. In certain regions of the world, insects can even be dangerous for you. For example, if mosquitoes transmit diseases such as malaria or dengue fever or if you are bitten by another poisonous insect. Good insect protection should therefore definitely be part of your luggage if you want to protect yourself effectively.
Here at Transa, you will find various products that protect you from insect bites, but also mitigate the consequences of insect attacks that have already occurred. You can choose from numerous mosquito nets, but you can also find tick repellents such as tweezers and sprays here. Depending on which season you are travelling in and where you are going, you can choose the right insect protection product here at Transa.
Mosquitoes can be a real nuisance at night, but also during the day. Only special mosquito nets that prevent mosquitoes from even getting the chance to bite offer absolutely reliable protection. At Transa, you can find mosquito nets that you can wear like a hat and that also protect your face and neck from mosquito bites during the day. This is recommended when mosquito density is high or you are travelling in regions where the transmission of dangerous diseases by mosquitoes or other insects is not uncommon.
You can also use a mosquito net for overnight stays in a hotel or camping. At Transa, you will find nets in various sizes that are either suitable for you alone or for several people. These can be placed over the bed and provide all-round insect protection in no time at all. Some models are also equipped with an active ingredient that smells unpleasant to mosquitoes, which also prevents them from biting. A mosquito net not only protects you from mosquitoes, but also from other insects that bite and sting.
At Transa, you will also find various mosquito bracelets, mosquito coils and mosquito lamps, as well as mosquito sprays that you can apply to your skin or clothing for effective mosquito repellent, depending on the product.
A tick bite can also have dangerous consequences. Especially if you are travelling in regions where diseases are frequently transmitted by ticks (e.g. Lyme disease or TBE). There are various measures you can take to minimise the risk of infection. On the one hand, sturdy outdoor clothing, regular skin checks for tick bites, but also quick and correct treatment if you have already been bitten. The transmission of germs can be minimised by removing them correctly with special tick tweezers. Under no circumstances should you simply pull the tick out with your fingers, as this will crush the animal's body and the germs it may contain will enter your bloodstream even faster. To remove a tick thoroughly, it is therefore best to always have a good pair of tick tweezers or tick card with you. As a preventative measure, you can also apply a tick repellent spray to your skin to keep the animals off your fur. It is important that you see a doctor if the bite site becomes infected after removing the tick. In this case, you may not have removed all parts of the tick 100 per cent or an infection may spread in your body despite removing the tick.
