What is DEET?
DEET (N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide) is a chemical insect repellent commonly found in sprays and lotions to ward off mosquitoes and ticks. While effective, many people have concerns about its strong smell, potential skin irritation, deterioration of plastics and fabrics, and environmental impact.
Why Go DEET-Free?
