As excitement builds for the 2024 Paris Olympics, travellers need to be aware of the potential health risks. In another recent blog post we outlined how experts are concerned that the Paris Olympics could become a super-spreader event for dengue fever. While the games promise unforgettable moments, it is crucial to take proactive steps to ensure your trip is safe and enjoyable.

In this blog post we include a brief overview of dengue fever and the symptoms to look out for. Then we provide you with a list of key incognito products to pack and use during your time in Paris. Our products are award-winning and offer 100% protection for 4 hours against dengue-carrying mosquitoes.

Dengue Fever: A Growing Concern

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral illness. Mosquitoes thrive in warm, urban environments making the Paris Olympics a hotspot for transmission, especially with the large number of international visitors and crowds.

Symptoms of Dengue Fever:

• High fever
• Severe headache
• Pain behind the eyes
• Joint and muscle pain
• Rash
• Nausea and vomiting

Must-Have Products from incognito®

To protect yourself from these risks, be sure to pack the following incognito® products:

1. Insect Repellent Spray: Our flagship product is 100% natural and 100% effective against mosquitoes. Spray it on all exposed skin and clothing to keep those mosquitoes at bay.
2. Insect Repellent Roll-On: Perfect for effortless application on the go, the roll-on provides long-lasting protection against mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects. It is compact in nature so could be carried in a small bag during the day.
3. Kids Insect Repellent: Are you bringing the whole family to this special event? Our kids' repellent is specially formulated to be gentle on young skin while providing robust protection.
4. Luxury Loofah and Hair & Body Wash: For enhanced protection, consider our natural, organic body care products. These products not only cleanse your pores of smells that attract insects but will also leave a protective layer on your skin which will act as a deterrent. Plus, they smell amazing to humans!
5. Ambient Protection: Pack our incense sticks or room refresher to keep your accommodation bug-free. These products create an environment that insects find unpleasant but as humans we love the lemongrass, citrus aroma.

Additional Protective Measures
