Odi: sezona un piesardzības pasākumi

No maija līdz septembrim.

These are general seasonal patterns for the Nordic and Baltic region, not a live forecast. Always check the current local advisory — the weather service, health authority or water-quality notice — before you head out.

Risks

Mosquitoes breed in still water and are at their fiercest around bogs, lakes and wet forest, particularly in the long northern twilight. In this region they are overwhelmingly a nuisance rather than a disease threat, but the bites itch, can become infected if scratched raw, and can turn an evening by the lake into misery. Boggy areas in high summer can produce genuinely dense swarms.

Kā palikt drošībā

Use a repellent containing DEET or icaridin on exposed skin, and cover up with long, loose sleeves at dawn and dusk. Avoid still, sheltered water at the times mosquitoes feed, and use a net over prams and over the bed when sleeping in a cabin. A fan on a terrace helps, as mosquitoes are weak fliers.

Noderīgi zināt

Reactions vary a lot between people; keep an antihistamine cream to hand for those who swell up.
