Protect Yourself Against Mosquitoes That May Carry The Zika Virus With Avon’s Skin So Soft Bug Guard Lotions

With warm weather season in full swing, the prime season for mosquito-borne illnesses like the Zika virus is back. This summer, proper protection is even more important as the threat of mosquito-borne illness continues to be on the rise.

Public health officials worry that the number of Zika infections will continue to climb in 2017 – a concern supported by a recent U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Vital Signs report highlighting the need for ongoing vigilance and sustained measures to prevent and manage cases of Zika. According to the CDC, the best way to prevent Zika is to protect yourself from mosquito bites with a regimen that includes using an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect product tested for repellency against mosquitoes that may carry the Zika virus, like Avon SKIN SO SOFT BUG GUARD PLUS lotions. {Product provided for review/feature consideration}
