So naturally you just buy the over the counter stuff, and spray all over yourself, right? Yeah, right, if you are really into dousing yourself with those nasty chemicals that stick to your skin, smell toxic, and actually are toxic if you happen to ingest them.
There are alternatives that are not only safer but just as, if not more, effective.

Yellow Fever (causes chills, jaundice, and vomiting)
Malaria (causes vomiting, fever, chills)
Zika (causes birth defects)
West Nile (causes rashes, fever, joint pain, and vomiting)
Dengue (causes severe, hemorrhagic fever)
