Description
A: DEET ( N , N -Diethyl- meta -toluamide ) is one of the most common ingredients in insect repellants. DEET is absorbed through the skin and in high concentrations is thought to have harmful side effects. For parents worried about the safety of DEET, continuing to use a product with a low concentration of DEET (<30%) or a non-DEET repellent are good alternatives. Insect repellents without DEET include those made with soybean oil and citronella. In general, they are not thought to provide as much protection or last as long as repellents with DEET. Please note that insect repellents are not recommended for children younger than 2 months.
