The
most effective repellents contain DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide), which is
an ingredient used to repel
pests like
mosquitoes and ticks. DEET has been tested against a variety of biting
insects and has been shown to
be very effective.
The more DEET a repellent contains the longer time it can protect you from
mosquito bites. A
higher percentage
of DEET in a repellent does not mean that your protection is better—just
that it will last longer.
Use these long lasting insect repellent wipers for 8 hours of protection.
DEET
concentrations higher than 50% do not increase the length of protection.
Insect
Repellant Towelettes: Packed in individual tear open packs. Towels
contain 52.25% DEET for long term protection. Each Towel is
5" x 10" in size.

Safety of Deet!
Products
containing DEET are very safe when
used according to
the directions. Because DEET is so
widely used, a
great deal of testing has been done.
When manufacturers
seek registration with the U.S.
Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) for products
such as DEET,
laboratory testing regarding both short-term
and long-term
health effects must be carried out.
Over the long
history of DEET use, very few confirmed
incidents of toxic
reactions to DEET have occurred
when
the product is used properly. Some
non-DEET repellent products which are intended to be applied directly to
skin also provide some protection from mosquito bites. However, studies have
suggested that other products do not offer the same level of protection,
or that protection
does not last as long as products containing DEET. A soybean-oil-based
product has
been shown to
provide protection for a period of time similar to a product with a low
concentration of DEET (4.75%).
Based on a recent study: A product containing 23.8% DEET provided an average
of 5 hours of protection
from mosquito
bites. A product containing 20% DEET provided almost 4 hours of protection.
A product with
6.65% DEET provided
almost 2 hours of protection. Products with 4.75% DEET and 2% soybean oil
were
both
able to provide roughly 1 and a half hour of protection. Use insect
repellent wipers or towelettes around eyes and mouth. |
