Gear for the Great Outdoors

To guard against Lyme disease and West Nile, and the mosquitoes and ticks that transmit them, you need a product with some DEET. Health Canada recommends using a product containing no more than 10% DEET for kids 12 and under—we like OFF! Skintastic Kids, as recommended by the Canadian Paediatric Society. Note that kids older than 12 can use a repellent containing up to 30% DEET.
