Parents are reminded to protect children from biting insects and too much sun. Kristi Cooper, a family life program specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, reminds parents to apply sunscreen first and then insect repellent. Also, wear long sleeves and pants, get rid of standing water, wear hats, and use a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. She also advises to use seperate products and none that combine DEET with sunscreen. For more information click here.
