Summer safety tips for the family
Beware of the bugs during the summer months, when children spend more time outdoors and exploring areas where insects may reside. Apply insect repellent to protect kids from mosquito bites, which can lead to West Nile virus, and to repel stinging insects which can set off a potentially deadly allergic reaction in some children. If a child does get bitten/stung, keep an eye on the area and seek medical attention if serious symptoms develop. T. LEVETTE BAGWELL/AJC Staff file
