Consumer Reports Advises on Tick-Proofing Yards to Prevent Illnesses

Consumer Reports Advises on Tick-Proofing Yards to Prevent Illnesses

Consumer Reports has highlighted the increasing threat of ticks and the illnesses they carry, which are not limited to hiking trails but are also prevalent in backyards. According to Paul Hope from Consumer Reports, ticks thrive in tall grass and damp, shaded areas. To mitigate this risk, it is recommended to mow grass to about 3 inches high, trim tall grasses and weeds, and clear away piles of leaves and brush. Additionally, creating a three-foot barrier of dry wood chips or gravel between lawns and wooded areas can help prevent ticks from entering yards. The report also suggests discouraging animals like deer and mice, which can carry ticks, by using tall fences and bait boxes that kill ticks on mice without harming the animals.

Consumer Reports Evaluates 100 Sunscreens, Highlights Top Picks for Sun Protection

Consumer Reports Evaluates 100 Sunscreens, Highlights Top Picks for Sun Protection

Consumer Reports has conducted its annual evaluation of sunscreen products, testing over 100 different lotions and sprays to determine their effectiveness in protecting against harmful UV rays. The report highlights that while many sunscreens did not meet the SPF levels advertised, they still provide essential protection. The top-rated product in the lotion category is Coppertone Water Babies Lotion SPF 50, which received a perfect score. In the spray category, Eucerin Advanced Hydration Spray SPF 50 was the top performer. The testing process involved applying sunscreen to small skin areas and exposing them to UVB rays, which are known to cause sunburn and contribute to skin cancer. Additionally, the products were tested for UVA protection, which is linked to skin aging and cancer. Consumer Reports emphasizes that lotions generally offer better coverage and application control compared to sprays, which can be less reliable due to potential inhalation and uneven application.
