2MORROW WITH Baekgomtang

Hello everyone!

There are more insects in the places we often visit.
This is due to climate change caused by global warming.

It’s been reported that pests are increasing more than beneficial insects. Read the article for more details.

What will happen if we don’t respond to climate change?
Let Baekgomtang show you the future through scenarios in sequence.

Why are there so many insects these days?

Due to climate change, the insect population has surged in Seoul’s Gangdong-gu district.
Baekgomtang and his friends couldn't even move forward.

You have to wear long sleeves and pants, or you’ll get bitten!

With more insects due to climate change, diseases like Lyme disease and malaria have increased.
Ticks are also on the rise, posing risks to both humans and pets.

Why did they increase so much?

Global warming has led to a rise in the insect population.
We need to start reducing carbon emissions now.
Think about the environment and make sure to recycle!

There are too many bugs to live here anymore.
Let's move to a place without bugs.

Wear long clothes to avoid insect bites.
Prepare Baekgomtang’s survival spray.

Climate Disaster Scenario

Surviving the Insect Crisis

The insect population has exploded due to climate change.
But there might still be ways to survive.

Let’s prepare step by step with Baekgomtang.

Prevention and Protection

Protective Clothing: When visiting malaria-prone areas in Africa, wear long-sleeve shirts and pants during peak mosquito activity in the evening. This can significantly reduce mosquito bites.
Use of Repellent: Apply mosquito repellent containing DEET on skin and clothing. For example, during a trek in Nepal, continuous use of repellent resulted in a significant reduction in mosquito bites.
Installing Nets: In many African villages, installing mosquito nets has greatly reduced malaria cases.

Hygiene Management

Maintaining Cleanliness: After cooking at a campsite, wash dishes immediately and clean the surroundings to prevent flies and ants. For example, a campsite in the U.S. saw fewer insects after enforcing this hygiene practice.
Waste Management: New York City has mandated storing food waste in sealed containers to control rodent problems.
Regular Disinfection: In India, regular disinfection has been implemented to curb mosquito breeding and reduce dengue cases.

Insect Habitat Control

Eliminate Standing Water: In a Malaysian village, residents removed standing water near their homes during the rainy season to prevent mosquito breeding.
Cleaning and Organizing: In rural Thailand, removing trash and weeds around homes has reduced insect habitats, minimizing pest issues.
Planting Insect-Repelling Plants: In Italy, residents planted lavender and mint to successfully reduce the presence of mosquitoes and flies.

Health Management

Prepare a Medical Kit: Explorers venturing into tropical rainforests carry a medical kit with antihistamines, antiseptics, and pain relievers. For instance, an Amazon explorer found these items helpful after being stung.
Vaccinations: Before traveling to areas with Japanese encephalitis, such as parts of Southeast Asia, get vaccinated.
Immediate Treatment for Symptoms: A traveler in West Africa who showed early symptoms of dengue fever quickly recovered after seeking immediate medical care.
