Inflatable Kayak Blog

Even though this has been one of the hottest Summers in history around here, my wife and I have still been able to get out and do some paddling in our inflatable kayak.

But along with the hot weather, as always, comes “bugs”. If they’re not whizzing around our faces, they’re crawling on us, or worst of all, biting us.

My wife is especially harassed by insects. Not sure if it’s something in her body chemistry or what, but she’s a real taste treat for the little buggers. She’s always getting bit, even when she’s not outside very long. Repellants sometimes work for her and she doesn’t use scented soaps or perfume when were paddling. Maybe we’ll figure out the solution someday.

Meanwhile, if you’d like to learn more about pesky outdoor pests, there’s an article on PaddleTheWorld.com about “Insect Bites and Stings” that has some tips on how to prevent bites and stings, as well as some treatment procedures if you get bit or stung. Check it out.
