Product Spotlight: TrailPatch Tick Repellent Patch
Our product spotlight this week is the TrailPatch Tick Repellent Patch. These are related to other kids safety patches we’ve spotlighted from The Natural Patch Co. brand… but with a whole new focus: tick repellant! As many parents realize, sunny days bring fun in the great outdoors but they also signal the arrival of tick season. Keeping kids safe from these pests is a top priority. Fortunately, the TrailPatch Tick Repellent Patch offers a natural, effective solution.
Always Treat Ticks as Serious Threats
Anyone who has ever been bitten by a tick can tell you: these bugs are more than simply annoying. In fact, they are notorious carriers of disease. One illness in particular can be quite dangerous: Lyme disease. Transmitted through the bite of infected deer ticks, Lyme disease can lead to severe health issues if not treated promptly. Children are particularly vulnerable, with ages five through nine being the most affected.
Symptoms of Lyme disease may include:
- a “bullseye” shaped rash,
- fever,
- chills,
- fatigue,
- and joint pain.
If not treated, Lyme disease can lead to severe headaches, neurological issues and heart problems. Preventing tick bites is crucial in avoiding these health risks.
Learning More About the TrailPatch Tick Repellent Patch
The TrailPatch Tick Repellent Patch is designed to offer parents peace of mind while their children enjoy outdoor activities. Each pouch contains 48 colorful stickers, infused with a blend of all-natural essential oils, including geranium, peppermint, thyme, and cedarwood. These ingredients are known for their tick-repelling properties, providing an effective barrier against these pesky insects.
Key Features of the TrailPatch Tick Repellent Patch:
- All-Natural Ingredients: While traditional methods like tick repellent sprays are commonly used, they often come with sticky residues and the presence of harsh chemicals. This is where the TrailPatch Tick Repellent Patch stands out as a preferable alternative. The essential oils used are gentle yet effective in repelling ticks.
- Kid-Friendly and Easy to Use: Simply peel and stick the patch onto your child’s clothing. What’s more, kids love the fun, colorful designs.
- Long-Lasting Protection: The patches use AromaWeave™ technology, which gradually releases the essential oils. This leads to continuous protection throughout the day. That’s good news, since it means there’s no need to worry about constantly reapplying.
- Convenient and Mess-Free: Unlike sprays, these patches don't leave a residue and are hassle-free to apply. The airtight seal of the packaging keeps the patches fresh for up to 12 months.
How to Use TrailPatch Tick Repellent Patches
For anyone who has struggled to get their little one to stand still for anti-tick sprays, applying the TrailPatch Tick Repellent Patch is a breath of fresh air. Before your child heads outdoors, simply peel a patch from the sheet and stick it onto their clothing. For best results, attach it to the back of their shirts, collars or pants.
General Tick Safety Tips
While the TrailPatch Tick Repellent Patch offers significant protection, combining it with other tick-prevention strategies can further reduce the risk of tick bites.
Dress Appropriately: When children are playing in areas where ticks are common, dress them in long sleeves and pants. Additionally, wearing light-colored clothing makes it easier to spot ticks. Tucking pants into socks or shoes can prevent ticks from accessing the skin.
Perform Tick Checks: After outdoor activities, thoroughly check your child’s body for ticks. Pay special attention to warm, moist areas like armpits, behind the knees, and the hairline. Prompt removal of ticks reduces the risk of disease transmission. Also, showering within two hours of being outdoors can help wash off any unattached ticks. It also provides an opportunity to conduct a thorough tick check.
When combined with traditional outdoor safety measures, a TrailPatch Tick Repellent Patch can help make sure your little ones stay safe during the summer playtimes.
