“I started buying Insect Shield clothing because I am (understandably) terrified of ticks bearing Lyme disease. As an urban dweller, I had become fearful of visiting friends who live in beautiful, green, rural and suburban places. A friend who has had a bad time with ticks recommended Insect Shield, telling me that since she started wearing Insect Shield clothing, she has been free of ticks. I'm finding that in addition to feeling much safer when I go to the country, my Insect Shield shirts are very helpful for keeping mosquitoes and gnats away. This shirt is light and comfortable for summer and looks good. I especially like the vents which are inconspicuous but helpful for steamy days.”
