Summer is my favorite season for all the obvious reasons—I love a good hike, camping, pool time, and cookouts. But I often pay a very itchy price for spending most of my time outside in the summer.

Summer evenings bring joy with barbecues and garden parties, yet they also usher in the nuisance of mosquitoes. These pesky insects not only spoil the fun but can leave itchy bites that itch for days.
