From the Manufacturer: Why BugsAway Apparel? The built-in Insect Shield treatment provides your family with odorless, invisible bug-repelling protection that lasts. This technology helps protect against various insects:

Fire Ants: Prevalent in tropical and temperate regions around the world, fire ant stings can cause chest pains, nausea, shock, and more. Black Flies and Sandflies: These insects bite animals and people, are common worldwide, and can transmit Sandfly Fever and River Blindness. Chiggers: Frequently found in southeastern Asia, India, and Northern Australia, chiggers are likely to bite in late spring/summer and can transmit tropical Typhus. Midges: Also known as 'no-see-ums,' midges typically bite at dawn and dusk, frequently attack in large numbers, and can cause severe skin irritation and itching.

The Insect Shield technology binds the bug-repelling Permethrin to the fibers, ensuring effectiveness that lasts up to 70 washes. This treatment is invisible, odorless, and has no unpleasant handfeel.

BugsAway apparel can be home washed, bleached, starched, and pressed. However, it should not be dry cleaned, as this process removes the treatment.

This apparel offers a practical and effective solution for protecting your family from various insect-borne diseases and discomfort, especially in areas where these pests are prevalent. The built-in Insect Shield technology provides long-lasting, discreet, and comfortable protection, making it a valuable addition to your outdoor gear and travel essentials.
