Looking for mosquito repellent bugsocks or insect repellent for clothing? Try these anti-mosquito and anti-tick bugsocks from Care Plus.
Biting bugs are not only irritating, they can also carry a number of serious contagious diseases including malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever amongst others. Scientific research has shown that some types of (malaria) mosquito prefer to bite on the feet, ankles and lower leg. Protection of the feet is therefore essential, and Care Plus Bugsox offer this protection.
Bugsox, with their Healthguard impregnation, will also provide protection against tick bites. Ticks are spider-like insects that attach themselves with their mouth to the skin of the host and then feed on the host's blood. In addition to the pain, inconvenience and risk of infection, ticks can be infected with the lyme-borreliosis disease, and can transmit this disease during the blood-sucking activity, leading to disastrous consequences. Scientific research has indicated that the number of infected ticks in northern Europe continues to grow and so bugsocks become an ever more important precaution.
The Care Plus® Bugsox are impregnated with "HealthGuard Vital Protection", a revolutionary insect-resistant product with prolonged effect that prevents annoying, itching bites and even prevents serious illnesses. "Healthguard Vital Protection" doesn't irritate and it is biologically degradable so wearing bugsocks shouldn't adversely affect your feet. It also protects the treated products against bacteria, and in doing so prevents odours, discolouring and degrading: making Bugsox more durable than normal socks.
Bugsox have a dramatic effect on the number of bites wearers suffer;
-
45% fewer landings of mosquitoes
-
80-90% fewer actual insect bites
-
90% effective against blood-sucking insects
Healthguard is maintained for approximately 50 washes (30C).
Bamboo cotton is used in these bugsocks because it breaths remarkably well. When it's very hot, bamboo naturally remains cool by taking in moisture and by ventilation. When it's cold, the micro-structure of the bugsocks functions as a base layer that keeps you warm. In addition, bamboo has a natural, anti-bacterial property and the Bugsox keep your feet fresh and odour-free.
The Care Plus® Bugsox City sock are a comfortable, seamless sock which is suitable for every day use, during a light walk or city trip.
