No human vaccine is currently available for any<unk> -borne disease, except for<unk> -borne encephalitis. Individuals should therefore take precautions when entering<unk> -infested areas, particularly in the spring and summer months. Preventive measures include avoiding trails that are overgrown with bushy vegetation, wearing light-coloured clothes that allow one to see the<unk> s more easily, and wearing long pants and closed-toe shoes.<unk>  repellents containing DEET (N,N, diethyl-m-toluamide) are only marginally effective and can be applied to skin or clothing. Rarely, severe reactions can occur in some people who use DEET-containing products. Young children may be especially vulnerable to these adverse effects. Permethrin, which can only be applied to clothing, is much more effective in preventing<unk>  bites. Permethrin is not a repellent but rather an insecticide; it causes<unk> s to curl up and fall off the protected clothing.
