Don't go near beehives or wasps' nests. |
|

Don't go near places where rubbish is kept. |
|
|
Don't walk barefoot on the grass. |
|
|
Don't wear brightly coloured clothes. |
|
|
When travelling by car, keep the windows closed. |
|
|
Use an insect repellent. |
|
|
If you have a dog or cat, keep it clean. |
