Hunters need to protect themselves this season.

It's the beginning of September and the recent West Nile virus outbreak is the largest ever seen in the United States.

As of the end of August, 66 people have died, 1,590 cases have been reported and 43 states have reported at least one person infected with the virus, according to the Center for Disease Control.

With hunting season starting in many states, it's important for hunters to protect themselves in the woods and during other outdoor activities.

ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent is the most effective area repellent on the market, providing up to 98% protection against mosquitoes in a 15 x 15 ft. area.

Additionally, ThermaCELL does not spook game, as noted by many bowhunters in the U.S. and abroad.
