No DEET – what is DEET?
This option provides a family of 4 one week of protection. DEET is present in all the top selling insect repelling sprays and lotions. There are however a number of negative aspects to using DEET, and as concerns about chemical formulations in bug sprays continue to grow the world looks for something new. DEET, also known as N, N diethyl-m-toluamide and is a broad spectrum
insect repellent developed in 1946 by the US Army. Due to its widespread usage and efficacy. It is also strongly connected to prevention of the West Nile Virus. It is comprised of synthetic chemicals - not natural chemicals.
Side effects of using DEET:
According to DEET.com, the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has determined that only when label instructions are followed, are all concentrations of DEET safe to use by people of all ages.
The agency also states, that ingestion in any capacity can be toxic “only apply insect repellents to exposed skin taking care to avoid the eyes and mouth, and wounds”. DEET.com provides proof that when “properly used”, DEET is safe for children. However, they ask adults not to allow kids to apply the products themselves, since they frequently put their hands into their mouths. They disregard the fact that children also touch their arms, legs, and clothes with their hands, especially when active. DEET is also to be cleaned off the skin with soap and water after returning indoors, which most people do not know or adhere to. The point is, technically DEET is safe – but only when used properly. Most people do not use DEET properly.
