Summer's here. Flowers are blooming, but so are poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac. Everyone's out picnicking, having a bite, but so are bees, wasps, and mosquitoes. It's great to be outdoors again. But can you enjoy the summer without rashes, burns, and bug bites?

Medical sources say yes, if you're careful. Each season has its pleasures and dangers, but with proper preparation, you can enjoy your time outdoors and avoid stings, bites, and burns.
