    DEET is an active ingredient in repellents that is widely used to repel blood-sucking insects such as mosquitoes and ticks. DEET is so popular that it is included in almost half of all products (lotions, sprays, liquids and impregnated substances) in the European Union and the US market. There are products that are registered for use on the skin at concentrations from 5 to 99%. Excluded are veterinary and food products with which DEET is not compatible in any way.

    DEET is intended for direct application to human skin to repel insects. The substance itself does not kill the insects, but rather disorients and reduces their sense of smell, making it harder for them to smell us. DEET was created in 1946 and has been widely used as a repellent since 1957.

    According to research by the US Environmental Protection Agency in 2014, DEET is not considered to pose a risk to human health, including children as many people use products with DEET as intended, following the instructions for use. No toxic effects have been observed after DEET applied to the skin.

    How to safely use products with DEET?
    – do not apply on wounds or irritated skin
    – do not apply on small children’s hands and the skin of the ears and mouth area
    – do not allow small children to use the product by themselves
    – use only on exposed skin and clothing where necessary
    – do not use under clothes
    – do not use too much
    – after returning to the room, wash the stained areas with soap and water
    – wash clothes before further use
    – do not spray indoors
    – do not spray the product directly on the face. First, you need to treat your hands and spread your hands over your face

    In children’s products, DEET has no concentration or age restrictions. The most important thing remains responsible use according to the rules.

    If you notice an allergic skin reaction, you should stop using the product with DEET and wash the area where the product was used with soap.

    Pure DEET leaves a greasy feeling on the skin and can dissolve synthetic fabrics, so it is usually not used pure but in solutions. It is considered that at concentrations above 50% the time during which the protection remains effective does not increase more and at a concentration of 50-100% DEET is up to 12 hours, 20-34% DEET provides 3-6 hours of protection. UK National Health Center recommends that its citizens use products with a DEET concentration of at least 50% when visiting areas with malaria. For children, they recommend a 10% concentration.

    DEET does not dissolve in water, so to prepare the repellent, the desired concentration can be dissolved in alcohol (e.g. isopropanol) or oils.
