If you’re headed out into the great (and buggy) outdoors, you’re probably packing some bug spray to keep mosquitoes and ticks away. But wearing bug-repellent clothing can offer an additional degree of protection against vector-borne illnesses like Lyme disease and West Nile virus, as well as plain ol’ itchy bites.
