Protection Against Mosquitoes
What is DEET? DEET (chemical name N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) is used as the active ingredient in many insect repellents. Insect repellents that contain DEET offer the best protection against mosquito bites. http://www.cdc.gov/malaria/toolkit/DEET.pdf
Update Vaccinations when Traveling Abroad
American Clinic Tokyo can help with your Travel Vaccines. When traveling for business or pleasure be sure to be fully protected. We carry vaccines for Typhoid, Meningitis, Rabies and Tdap which are hard to find in Tokyo. Malaria can be prevented with oral medications too. Be sure to prepare in advance because some of these vaccinations require multiple injections. Please call us for prices and appointments.
It’s time for Halloween parties and trick-or-treating! Tips to keep children safe.
Plan safe costumes. Make sure masks and costumes fit well and don’t cover their eyes, so kids can see and move around easily.
Plan healthy treats. Instead of candy, offer safe nonfood treats or healthy snacks.
Help children avoid trick-or-treating alone, by having them walk in groups or with a trusted adult.
Ensure safety on the street. Put reflective tape on treat bags and costumes. Have your children carry a flashlight so drivers can see them. Keep porches and walkways clear of candles and other obstacles. Always WALK and don’t run from house to house.
