How to prevent mosquito bites in summer

Imagine the scene: you are sitting comfortably and peacefully on the terrace of your apartment overlooking the sea, which you have rented with all the excitement of the world to enjoy your long-awaited and awaited vacation. It's 20 hours and it starts to get dark. But, suddenly, an annoying buzz begins to appear, and what was once a quiet moment becomes a nightmare. You make a fuss, with the intention of pushing it away, but the mosquito becomes a strong one and gets you inside the apartment.

Probably it is a scene that, every evening, is repeated in many places of our country during the summer months, especially in the coastal or mountainous areas of the interior.

And although they are apparently harmless insects, and although in our country there are no mosquitoes that are capable of transmitting chronic diseases, it is true that their bites end up being tremendously annoying.
