First Aid for Insect Bites – Protect & Soothe with Dakota Hemp

Warm days mean mosquitoes and other insects are still active. While some bites are just a nuisance, others can be more bothersome. Protecting your skin is key—whether using natural repellents like citronella, eucalyptus, and catnip oil or using DEET-based solutions for stronger protection. Wearing light, breathable, neutral-colored fabrics can also help keep bugs at bay.

How to Protect Yourself from Insect Bites?

Keeping your skin protected is key. Various insect repellents are available, from natural options with essential oils like citronella, eucalyptus, and catnip to stronger formulations containing DEET, known for their effectiveness. Wearing light-colored, breathable fabrics such as cotton or linen can also help minimize exposure.

What Happens When an Insect Bites?

Most insect bites cause mild swelling, itching, or discomfort, lasting from a few hours to several days. Some may trigger mild allergic reactions, resulting in increased swelling and tenderness. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions require immediate medical attention.

How to Treat an Insect Bite?

For mild reactions:
✔️ Cool the affected area with cold water or a cold cloth.
✔️ Use over-the-counter pain relievers or antihistamines if needed.
✔️ Apply a DIY paste of baking soda and water to the bite.
✔️ Try soothing gels or balms designed for after-bite relief.
