Zika Threat Leads to Demand in Repellent Promotional Clothing

Following the Zika epidemic, several promotional product companies and apparel manufacturers are heeding the need for clothing that repels mosquitos. The most common pieces include shirts, pants, hoodies, and socks.

If the virus continues to spread throughout the U.S., other items such as hats, facemasks, neck tubes, scarves, and gloves may be necessary.
