Prevention of Bug Bites, Stings, and Disease

The book is written as if from a parent to a child; the authors appear to talk down to the reader.I understand that the authors are much more knowledgeable than the average layperson, but many other knowledgeable authors convey their information better and less like a lecture to the ignorant masses.The information is important but it is not presented in a way that makes me want to keep and reread the book. I would much rather find information on the web, some of which, frankly, are more interestingly written and presented.

Nice book. Huge amount of detailsAuthor has been hired by Gates Foundation

Our family loves being outdoors. Some of our best family memories are of hiking and camping. Lately though, we are being more conscious of the dangers of insect bites. What used to seem like a simple mosquito bite or tic can lead to West Nile Virus and Lime Disease. All the information floating around just makes us more afraid. We have been searching for a guide that could tell us what we needed to know- this is finally it! This book is easy to read and has all the up-to-date information. It is interesting to just sit and read if you really want to learn more on insects and disease, but if you want to look up something quick, like I usually do, it is a great resourse. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys spending time outside. The illustrations are great too. This one is definately coming along for our next hiking or camping trip!

good book to have ,full of lots of good advice will add it to my collection.
