Bug Off Wrist Band
Here’s another cool product for camping or nights outside during the summer. The Bug Off! Insect Repelling Wristband is a non-toxic bracelet infused with insect repelling oils. Just slip one on your wrist or ankle to keep biting bugs away. It’s safe around kids and pets because it is DEET free and it can be used for up to 180 hours. Best of all, there are no messy, smelly sprays or lotions to apply to your skin.
$3.29 Amazon
*Word of caution – I’m not sure I would rely on this in an area known for bug borne diseases. I always check with a travel doctor and follow his/her instructions when travelling to such places.
Interesting concept, though it reminds me of wearing a flea collar. That is, reminds me of a flea collar. Not, reminds me of wearing a flea collar. Though there was that one time in college…
Would you need two, one on each ankle to be effective or is one good enough?
Thanks for the info.

Well they are sold as singles so I would assume one is supposed to be enough.
