A Guide to Dengue Fever Prevention in New York and New Jersey

With the rise of dengue fever cases reported in New York and New Jersey, travellers must take extra precautions to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip. Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne illness, can cause severe flu-like symptoms and, in some cases, lead to more serious health complications. Here's how you can protect yourself with incognito's range of products and some additional tips for staying safe.

Understanding the Risk

Dengue fever is transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, primarily Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. These mosquitoes are active during the day and can be found in urban areas, making cities like New York and New Jersey susceptible to outbreaks. As you plan your travels, it’s crucial to be aware of the potential health risks and pack our 100% effective* insect repellent to keep you protected.

Extra Precautions: The CLOAKS Method

Howard Carter, our bite prevention expert, recommends the C.L.O.A.K. method for effective protection:

• Cover up skin with suitable clothing, especially during peak mosquito activity times.
• Light-coloured, loose clothing is preferable, as mosquitoes are attracted to dark colours.
• Odours, both bodily and from scented products, can attract mosquitoes. Use unscented toiletries and wash thoroughly with our citronella-infused drops.
• Apply incognito insect repellents on exposed skin regularly.
• Keep mosquitoes out of your dwelling by using room refreshers and tipping out any stagnant water.
