Protection against insects Many diseases affecting travelers (eg, malaria, dengue fever) are carried by mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, sand flies, and tsetse flies. Protection against these vectors includes wearing proper clothing with tight-fitting wristbands, collars, and pant cuffs. An insect repellent containing at least 33% diethyltoluamide (deet) should be applied to any exposed skin, especially between dusk and dawn. Children exposed to deet may have adverse side effects (ie, ataxia, encephalopathy, seizures, and coma). Formulas containing less than 10% deet are considered safe and effective and are recommended for children. In remote areas, travelers should sleep in screened enclosures or under mosquito netting.
