A formulation intended for topical application designed to deter stinging insects. These products typically contain repellents that discourage bees, wasps, and hornets from approaching or landing on the skin. An example would be a pump-action bottle containing a solution that, when sprayed, creates a temporary barrier against these insects.
The importance of such a product lies in its potential to reduce the risk of stings, particularly for individuals with allergies or sensitivities to insect venom. Historically, individuals have sought methods to minimize insect encounters, leading to the development of various repellent solutions. Protection from stings allows for increased comfort and safety during outdoor activities.
