The allergy, called alpha-gal syndrome, came to light a little over a decade ago.

    If you go camping frequently you’ve probably noticed that more people are going outside than ever before.

    Among newer hikers and campers I’ve noticed that insect repellent just gets treated like sunscreen: people kind of ignore it or spray it on the obvious spots and don’t bother with the rest.

    Also, don’t even get me started on those “all natural” insect repellents.

    It’s really just education. No one takes it seriously.
