Wear a Mosquito Hat To Protect Your Face

A mosquito hat is the preferred headwear by people who love to spend time fishing or gardening and don't want to be bothered by pesky mosquitoes. This hat has mosquito netting that comes down over your face and with the elastic in the bottom it is secure around your neck, so the mosquitoes can't get up in under it. While it may not be the most attractive hat you own - the bottom line is that it works! Some of the features of this type of hat include:

• Fine polyester or nylon mesh that you can see through quite easily
• When you don't need to wear the netting, you can tuck it up into the hat
• The net is not close to your face so mosquitoes can't bite you
• The netting is durable and is excellent protection when it is raining

Why Use Netting?

When you do not want to use repellents on your skin for protection from mosquito bites, netting is an effective alternative. It is very lightweight, whether you use it as a covering over your tent or gazebo or in a hat with the netting attached. Protecting your health when you are outdoors during mosquito season, especially if your travels take you to areas where there is a lot of standing water, is of utmost importance. At one time, mosquito bites were just a nuisance that we felt went hand in hand with summer. However, with the incidences of West Nile Virus on the rise, more and more people are becoming aware of the need for protecting themselves when they are outdoors.

If you like camping, a wise investment would be insect netting. You can buy these nets specifically for completely enclosing an outdoor area, such as a tent or a gazebo. You can get a mosquito net canopy or even buy mosquito netting by the yard!
