No one likes bug bites. Though the itchiness can be annoying, the real fear is the diseases that can arise from mosquitos. Bug repellents are a necessary tool for health and safety.
The annual number of people sickened by mosquitos or tick bites has more than tripled since 2004, according to the CDC.
However, many bug repellents offered today have harmful chemicals like DEET. Thermacell is a bug spray alternative that offers protection and safety from mosquitos and chemicals.
Thermacell’s products are out of this world useful for the fisherman. In the age-old battle of bug vs fisherman, the bug has usually won. Mossy Oak Fishing and Thermacell have partnered up to fight back and provide relief so you can focus on the bite that matters.
With 15-feet of mosquito protection, no harmful chemicals, and refills available, Thermacell has everything you could need for a comfortable day on the water, bug-bite and DEET-free.
In fact, it’s no secret that DEET is harmful for the skin and body. People who have left the chemical commonly found in insect repellent sprays on their skin for extended amounts of time have experienced redness, skin irritation, and swelling on the applied area.
More side effects of DEET include nausea, upset stomach, vomiting, and in the most serious cases, seizures. It’s certainly no chemical to mess around with.
Did you know that DEET also harms fishing lines, waders, and breathable fabrics?
That’s right! According to Harvard Health, “DEET is a strong chemical that can damage plastic, rayon, spandex, leather, and painted or varnished surfaces. People who fish must be careful to wash DEET off their hands because it can dissolve fishing line, wader material, and related gear.”
So if you want to protect your gear, it’s important to stay away from harmful chemicals that’ll ruin your favorite fishing shirts, waders, and, most importantly, your line!
Some people even speculate that DEET also deters fish, as the spray often gets on the lures and bait and fish can smell the chemical.
Thermacell offers a safe alternative to DEET products by creating a 15-feet radius of mosquito repellent without having to use harmful chemicals. It works by using heat activated repellent mats that provide a zone of protection.
Try Thermacell--you’ll see the difference it makes out on the water. Especially if you’re taking loved ones with you, you want them to have as much fun as possible!
They even offer a 100% guarantee on their products--that’s how much they believe in them.
