What is DEET

is the most common active ingredient in insect repellents. It is a slightly yellow oil intended to be applied to the skin or to clothing, and provides protection against mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, chiggers, leeches, and many biting insects.

As a precaution, manufacturers advise that DEET products should not be used under clothing or on damaged skin, and that preparations be washed off after they are no longer needed or between applications.^[18] DEET can act as an irritant;^[6] in rare cases, it may cause severe epidermal reactions.^[18] Other symptoms that can occur are breathing difficulty, burning eyes, headaches.^[19]

When used as directed, products containing between 10% and 30% DEET have been found by the American Academy of Pediatrics to be safe to use on children, as well as adults, but recommends that DEET not be used on infants less than two months old.^[18]

DEET is commonly used in combination with insecticides and can strengthen the toxicity of carbamate insecticides,^[25] which are also acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. These findings indicate that DEET has neurological effects on insects in addition to known olfactory effects, and that its toxicity is strengthened in combination with other insecticides.
