Choose insect protection for your destination, activities and personal needs. A mountain setting is not a reason to ignore travel-health preparation.
Use products as directed
Check repellent labels, including restrictions for children and compatibility with clothing or equipment. Ask a pharmacist or travel-health professional if unsure. Avoid assuming that a natural label proves effectiveness or suitability.
Make clothing practical
Choose comfortable coverage and check exposed skin after walking where relevant. Keep sleeping arrangements and food storage tidy. Do not apply unfamiliar products to irritated skin merely because another traveller recommends them.
Seek destination-specific advice
Before Morocco, discuss appropriate travel precautions with a qualified professional. The CDC Morocco traveller page provides a starting point. Tell Atlas Hikes about practical needs when arranging accommodation. Do not treat repellent as a substitute for advice about a concerning bite or illness.
