So for the most part, it's probably just your average fly bite or any of the usual bits buzzing around.

So obviously you'll keep it clean, you'll give it a wash with soap and you'll just keep an eye on it.

But if you notice a bit of an infection building or you're

concerned in any way thinking this isn't quite right you can go into your pharmacist you can go to your GP no one's going to laugh at you for overthinking it but definitely there are a few things around the country and a few places that maybe if you get a bite it might be a bit more serious so places like Killarney National Park which is lovely for a walk

obviously has a deer population and usually when you have deer, you have ticks.

So if a tick gets attached to you, that could come with the potential of Lyme disease if it's not treated right.

you'd usually still see it the tick kind of stays on so if you see something I know it just gives you the heebie-jeebies so if you see it still on the skin you might be tempted to maybe flick it away or something but take a second you might need to go into a chemist they have special tweezers that you can buy to take them out or I know some people use a

a credit card but I feel like if it was me and I saw it sticking out of me my hand would probably get a bit shaky so I'd want someone who knows what they're doing so again if you go into a medical professional be it the GP or the chemist or anyone like that they'll be able to advise you and help you and you can take it out keep the area clean monitor it for any signs of fever or anything else so if you had chills or anything like that after a few days you'd get it checked out but definitely one to keep an eye out for

Yeah, so I suppose there's a lot more bare skin out in the summer when we're a bit luckier with the weather.

So if it's your legs rubbing together or maybe your arm rubbing off your side and you're out and about walking around, it can chafe a bit, so it gets a bit red and sore.

But a little bit of baby powder just stops that friction and no one notices it.

It's fairly transparent when it's on the skin anyway, so it just helps your skin glide against each other better.

Yeah, so it soaks it up before your clothes do.

So it just stops the sweat kind of getting to the next level or the next layer.

So again, very handy for that kind of stuff.

And even, it's worth packing it for the beach.

so again when it soaks up all that moisture when you're at the beach obviously your feet get wet from the water and you're walking in the sand and the sand all clings to you and then you're trying to get into the car or putting on your socks and dad's car is going to get ruined yeah oh and you'll never hear the end of it yeah so a bit of baby powder it just takes out the moisturiser and the sand just brushes off so you're going to save a lot of heartbreak and hoovering down the line and baby powder in the bed as well yeah

Yeah, it's a very similar one to the clothes.

It, again, just soaks up all the sweat.

So if it's a hot night, you can have it on the bed sheets.
