World Health Day
April 6, 2014World Health Day is April 7th and the campaign for 2014 is Small Bite: Big Threat. The World Health Organization wants people to be aware of the heath threat posed by mosquitoes, flies, ticks and bugs. As the weather gets warmer, more individuals and families will be participating in outdoor activities and need to take protective measures such as wearing a long-sleeved shirt and trousers and using insect repellent.
Remember to protect yourself when:
- Hiking
- Gardening
- Playing outdoor sports (and as a spectator too!)
- Geocaching
- Camping
- Amusement Parks
